A tow truck sliding on its roof crashed into about a dozen cars in a crash caught on camera early Friday in a South Los Angeles neighborhood.
At least two people, the tow truck driver and a Toyota Prius driver, were hospitalized following the crash at about 2:30 a.m. outside an apartment complex. Details about their conditions were not immediately available.
Video showed the tow truck sliding on its roof as it slammed into about eight parked cars and three moving cars. The tow truck initially crashed into two cars traveling on the same street before rolling onto its roof. The truck and at least one other car ended up on their sides.
"We heard the explosion we thought it was an earthquake," said resident Aris Rodriguez.

Details about what led to the crash were not immediately available, but authorities said it appears the tow truck driver ran a red light. NBCLA reach out to the company for comment.
It was not immediately clear whether anyone was arrested.
