A vehicle crashed into a pole in North Hollywood Monday afternoon, trapping the occupants inside and injuring another person that officials believe could be a pedestrian or bicyclist.
The crash was reported at about 1:15 p.m. in the 11000 block of Victory Boulevard, at the intersection with Vineland Avenue, the Los Angeles Fire Department said in an alert.
After the collision, which “trapp[ed] one or more occupants in the vehicle,” officials found another person, “a pedestrian (or bicyclist?)” that had been hurt, the LAFD said.
In an update, LAFD officials said the vehicle hit a 22-year-old pedestrian — not a bicyclist — before hitting a traffic signal pole, which fell on the car, trapping two men aged 26 and 25.
The pedestrian and the two occupants of the sedan were taken to a regional trauma center in serious condition.
Additionally, a 65-year-old woman in a second vehicle sustained a minor injury and declined further treatment. Fire officials did not detail exactly how she was hurt.
