LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Three women were killed Tuesday evening when an SUV jumped a curb outside the North Hollywood Metro station and struck food vendors and people on foot, and the driver has been arrested on suspicion of felony driving under the influence, the Los Angeles Police Department said Wednesday.
Fire officials logged the first call at roughly 5:55 p.m. from the corner of Lankershim and Chandler boulevards. The white SUV had been headed south on Lankershim.
The three women, ages 40, 53 and 69, died at the scene. Police have not released their names. Several others were taken to hospitals in critical condition, and two of the injured were still hospitalized Wednesday.
Rescuers had to free the 61-year-old driver from the vehicle. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition and was later placed under arrest.
Detectives are reviewing video of the crash as they work to determine its cause. The investigation is ongoing.
