UPDATE: 21 LA County Sheriff's recruits have been injured in a crash in Whittier, with 7 patients in critical condition. The driver has been detained.
Investigators said 21 people were injured, believed to be Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department recruits.
According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, 7 of the patients are in critical condition, 4 are immediate, and 10 have minor injuries. Paramedics sent up a triage area at the scene, and transported the injured for hospital treatment, many of them reportedly in critical condition. "The hardest part is finding each victim," said Ret. Fire Captain Rick Godinez of the Los Angeles City Fire Department to CBSLA Wednesday morning."There are red, yellow, and green tarps used by first responders to categorize the victims." "First responders will start to reach out to hospitals to start diverting the victims to each victim to different hospitals," said Godinez.
