One person was hospitalized Sunday after a two-vehicle crash involving a Metro bus in South Los Angeles.
According to Los Angeles police, the crash happened around 11:30 p.m. near S. Figueroa Street and Century Boulevard.
“The Metro Line 81 bus was waiting at a red light behind a vehicle,” Metro spokesman Dave Sotero said in a statement. “A third vehicle attempting to turn left struck the vehicle, pushing it in front of the bus, resulting in minor damage to the bike rack.”
The force of the impact caused one of the two cars to flip over and come to a stop in front of the bus. Video footage from the scene showed the aftermath.
Paramedics took one person to hospital in unknown condition.
“We are thankful that our bus driver and passengers were not injured in a high-speed traffic accident last night,” Sotero said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact LAPD detectives, who are investigating the possibility that the crash was the result of a street takeover.
