A crash involving at least three cars left at least four people injured, two of them critically, in South Los Angeles on Tuesday. 

The crash was reported at around 7:45 p.m. on the 9500 block of Main Street, according to Margaret Stewart of the Los Angeles Fire Department. 

The LAFD initially said a 17-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy were in critical condition. A lieutenant at the scene later confirmed that a 17-year-old girl and a 5-year-old girl were in serious condition.

A 31-year-old woman also suffered non-life threatening injuries and a 14-year-old girl was taken to the hospital in serious condition.

The lieutenant said the woman was driving westbound on Colden Avenue when another person in a gray Infiniti was traveling northbound on Main Street. 

The driver in the gray Infiniti ran the red light and crashed into the woman. That driver and at least two passengers ran away. 

No further details were immediately available.
