Driver could have ‘lost consciousness’
LA Fire Department captain Adam Van Gerpen, speaking to reporters at the scene, said: “This morning, about 2am, firefighters were dispatched out to a traffic accident.
“On arrival, they found that we had a multi casualty incident with a number of victims on scene. Our firefighters quickly realised we had a large number of patients so we called for additional resources.
“Apparently somebody that lost consciousness inside the vehicle and drove into a taco cart and then ultimately ran into a large number of people that were outside a club in East Hollywood.
“Right now we have a total of approximately 31 patients. All of those patients are in the process of being treated and transported and evaluated.
“We have reports that there was a gunshot wound in one of the patients. There was a patient inside the vehicle and they were able to extricate that patient.”
