One person died and at least two others were hurt in a multi-vehicle crash Sunday in North Hollywood, according to the Valley Traffic Division of the Los Angeles police.
The crash took place about 4:10 p.m. at 6831 Vineland Ave., at the intersection with Vanowen Street, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.
"There were two vehicles involved in the crash," a LAPD Valley Traffic Division desk officer said. "At some point the driver of one of the vehicles lost control, hit another vehicle that was stopped, rolled over and came to rest next to a power pole."
Two people were temporarily trapped inside that vehicle, Humphrey said.
The driver of that car was taken to a hospital with serious injuries but the passenger in that vehicle died, the desk officer said, adding he didn't know the age or gender of the victim. The name of the deceased will be withheld pending notification of the next of kin.
The driver in the other vehicle that was struck was also taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries, the desk officer said. That person's condition was unknown. No information about other injuries was immediately available.
The crash remained under investigation by LAPD's Valley Traffic Division. Anyone with information on the crash was asked to call them at 818-644-8000.
