1 dead, 12 injured in Southern California after vehicle crashes into food vendor

LOS ANGELES — One person was killed and 12 others were injured Friday night after a motorist plowed into a food vendor in Pomona.

Firefighters were called at 7:43 p.m. to the area of Holt Avenue and Dudley Street, said Imy Velderrain, a supervising dispatcher with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Arriving units found 13 victims, Velderrain said. One person was declared dead at the scene, three were classified as critical medical transports, seven as delayed medical transports, and two people declined ambulance transport against medical advice.

Additional information about the incident was not immediately available.

KTLA-TV Channel 5 — citing Aly Mejia, a Pomona Police Department spokesperson — reported that the suspected driver was a 26-year-old Pomona resident who fled the scene before turning herself in about an hour and 15 minutes later.

A police watch commander declined several requests from the Los Angeles Times to confirm the arrest or provide further details about the crash Friday night.
