Los Angeles Fire Department units said first-arriving crews encountered a four-car collision that “resulted in multiple injured patients” and a power pole that had been hit, leaving downed lines believed to be communication wires. Firefighters extricated one trapped occupant who was later determined to be deceased, and they transported an approximately 35-year-old woman to a local hospital in unknown condition. The incident was logged as Traffic INC#1487, and LAPD responded under incident number 3993, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The collision was reported just after 6 p.m.
