At least 30 people were injured when a car crashed into a crowd outside a nightclub in Los Angeles early Saturday morning, authorities said. The incident occurred shortly before 2 a.m. local time outside The Vermont, a club located in the city, according to the Los Angeles Fire and police departments.
The Los Angeles Fire Department reported that seven of the victims were in critical condition, while six others sustained serious injuries.
According to fire department spokesperson Captain Adam VanGerpen, the vehicle initially collided with a taco truck stationed outside the club, then continued through a valet stand and into a large group of people.
The Los Angeles Police Department said on X that the motive behind the crash remains under investigation.
When officers responded to reports of an assault with a deadly weapon, they found the driver had been shot while being attacked by bystanders. He was transported to a hospital, and his condition is currently unknown.
Authorities said a man suspected of shooting the driver fled the scene on foot and may have been armed with a silver revolver.
