Five-vehicle crash sends six to hospital in Hollywood

A disastrous five-vehicle crash in Hollywood that sent six people to hospital has been captured on camera.

Police are investigating the incident which happened just after 6am at the intersection of Vanowen Street and Sepulveda Boulevard in Van Nuys on Tuesday, KTLA reports.

A surveillance camera outside MJM Network Computer Repair caught the whole event.

The video showed a white car travelling at high speed running a red light and slamming into an 4WD waiting at the intersection.

The 4WD is pushed back more than 20 metres while the white vehicle flips over hitting three other vehicles.

MJM Network employee said this is usually a quiet intersection and he has not seen a crash there in the 23 years he worked at the store.

"The SUV … wasn't doing nothing wrong," he said.

"Just sitting there waiting to do his turn at the red light, and this car comes and hits him. There's no way he could have avoided that."

The LAPD said the crash seriously injured six people who were undergoing treatment at a nearby hospital — the driver of the white vehicle has the worst injuries.
