Van plows into crowd in Los Angeles; at least 8 hurt

Breaking. . . .

At least eight people were reported hurt after a vehicle drove into a crowd of people in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Mid-Wilshire on Sunday, according to a Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman.

The van plowed into the crowd around 3:47 p.m. at 5055 W. Pico Boulevard, according to the LAFD. Overhead footage from a news helicopter showed a white van that apparently knocked down a white picket fence around the outdoor dining area of a restaurant -- known as The Fish Spot -- before stopping on a sidewalk.

It's a sad day when I have to hope like hell it was just a drunk or drugged out person.

Will update with info if I can.

Ugh, white van ... that makes it seem less likely to be something like a health problem or the aforementioned drunk or druggie.

9 injured now.

No updates on the driver.

The article says the driver is still at the scene. that would lead one to believe it was some sort of accident. maybe loss of control, or possible DUI of some sort.

I'm sick of these white vans, frigging vehicles of peace, get em off the road, ban them, more travel bans needed, don't even let them into the country dammit.

Everyone grab your pitchforks, we're going after the Muslims on this one, it's the only possible explanation.

not true it could also be that the clintons got a whiff that DWS was eating at the fish spot.

Are they saying anything about a deranged and jealous terrorist yet ?

How 'bout an illegal immigrant that's been deported at least 5 times ?

It is. . . "Shark Week".

I am betting surstromming and the driver had his window rolled down. Passed right out.

Was it a Great White Van?

"Complete accident, nothing intentional," said Lieutenant Jim Lewis of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Well, not good for the people, but am glad it wasn't anything else.

You remember back in 2002 with the washington sniper, reports of a white van?

It ended up being a blue sedan.

Just putting that out there.

11 now confirmed as injured - one critical. Driver in custody.

This will happen time and time again until people learn to put their freaking phone down while driving. Not saying that this is the case in this situation, just saying.
