Bystanders pulled two women out of the vehicle, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Brian Humphrey said. A 23-year-old woman was in critical condition, and a 24-year-old woman was in serious condition when they were taken to a hospital, Humphrey said.The defect that can cause single-family houses to collapse has received little attention until now. Some California homeowners will soon be able to apply for grants to help pay for the retrofit.
Firefighters found the remains of a person who died in the vehicle, Humphrey said. It’s unclear how the victims were affiliated with one another. Multiple witnesses saw the crash and called 911, Humphrey said, but police have not provided a description of the driver, who remains on the loose. Both county and city of Los Angeles emergency crews responded to the wreck, which happened on the border with the city of West Hollywood.
Video footage from OnScene.TV showed the burned-out frame of a vehicle smoldering in the road and a damaged palm tree that was struck before the vehicle caught fire.
