Video captures fiery, high-speed crash at Southern California intersection
Dashcam video captured the moment a high-speed crash left a pickup truck in flames at a busy intersection in the San Fernando Valley.
The crash happened at Lassen Street and Sepulveda Boulevard in Mission Hills at around 5:09 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Dashcam video from a bystander showed a white Lexus sedan racing past him and slamming into the dark gray Ford pickup truck that was making a left turn.
The high-speed impact sent both cars spinning out of control and slamming into a traffic signal pole behind them. Flames were immediately ignited underneath the truck.
The truck landed on a nearby sidewalk and the white sedan crashed against a wall just outside of a CVS parking lot.
Both vehicles were totaled as a large amount of auto debris was strewn across the busy intersection.
“I saw on my rearview mirror that [the white sedan] was coming so fast, they’re going to hit somebody,” said Seth Gurlal, whose dashcam captured the collision. “They had no regard for anybody.”
Witnesses said bystanders in the area immediately ran over to help the female driver who was injured and trapped inside the burning truck.
“They pulled out a woman but her feet were stuck,” said Rosa Madrigal, a witness. “They pulled it out, but the moment they did, I saw she was bleeding on the side.”
The woman was transported to the hospital where her condition remains unknown on Saturday night.
It’s unclear whether the suspect driver was also injured as the incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information can call the LAPD at 1-877-527-3247.
Footage of the crash can be seen in the video player above.
