Three killed after vehicle strikes pedestrians near North Hollywood Metro station

A vehicle struck pedestrians near the North Hollywood Metro station on Tuesday evening, killing three people and critically injuring at least three others, according to KTLA, which cited the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The initial accounts place the collision in an area used by public transportation passengers. NBC News described pedestrians being struck near a public transportation stop in Los Angeles.

Reports published November 11 described the collision as happening Tuesday evening. An account carried by KYTV said the vehicle struck people on a sidewalk next to a Metro station in North Hollywood.

CBS Top Stories gave a more specific description, reporting that an SUV crashed into a food stand near a Metro bus stop. The supplied reports do not explain the precise relationship between the food stand and the pedestrians who were struck.

The reports agreed that three people had died. NBC News also reported three people critically injured, while KTLA put the number of critically injured at at least three.

The Independent reported that three injured people were taken to a hospital for treatment. The available coverage provides no subsequent update on their conditions.

The reported toll is three dead and at least three critically injured. The available accounts do not identify those killed or injured.

The supplied coverage also gives no information about the driver or the cause of the collision. It does not establish whether the vehicle struck the pedestrians intentionally.

The main unresolved questions are what caused the vehicle to strike people and whether the critically injured patients' conditions have changed. Further information is also needed to clarify the sequence of the collision at the sidewalk and food stand.
