Three people have been killed and at least three others, including the driver, hospitalised in critical condition after an SUV crashed into pedestrians near a Metro station in Los Angeles, United States.
The incident occurred at about 5:55 p.m. local time on Tuesday at the intersection of Lankershim Boulevard and Chandler Boulevard in North Hollywood, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The Los Angeles Police Department said the vehicle struck five pedestrians, leaving three dead. The driver was among those taken to hospital in critical condition.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said the SUV mounted the sidewalk near the North Hollywood Metro Station before hitting a group of street vendors and other pedestrians.
In a statement shared on social media, Bass expressed sympathy for the victims and their families, saying she was heartbroken by the incident.
Emergency responders attended the scene and transported injured victims to hospital. The driver was also receiving treatment in critical condition.
Authorities had yet to provide further information about what caused the SUV to leave the road and strike the pedestrians.
The incident comes amid reports of another pedestrian crash in Glasgow, Scotland, where seven people were taken to hospital after a car struck several pedestrians on Hyndland Road on Tuesday afternoon, November 10, 2026. Police Scotland said emergency services, including police officers, firefighters and ambulance personnel, responded to the scene.
