The incident occurred at 01:59 h local time on West Santa Monica Boulevard, in front of The Vermont Hollywood.

A vehicle rammed into a crowd for reasons still under investigation.

The area remains cordoned off while authorities gather evidence and seek to identify the driver responsible.

LAFD personnel, along with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), quickly triaged and treated the injured at the scene.

The seven critical and six critically ill patients were transferred to nearby hospitals for intensive care.

The LAFD continues to coordinate the monitoring of the cases and to monitor their progress.

The other ten people treated for minor injuries were also treated at medical centers or directly on site, while seven were unharmed and did not require transportation.

This event is particularly relevant for the Hispanic community in the U.S., especially in cities with a strong Latino presence such as Los Angeles, Miami and Houston:

Fear in public spaces: random road violence affects the feeling of safety when going out at night to cultural or social events.

Reinforcing prevention: the need to avoid areas with heavy traffic and to demand a greater police presence at night is emphasized.

Crucial medical access: many affected people belong to vulnerable communities, and rapid access to health services can make a difference.

Ongoing investigation: LAPD collects security cameras, testimony and forensic evidence to identify the vehicle and driver.

Citizen cooperation: the authorities ask any witness to submit video or photos of the moment of the hit-and-run to facilitate the capture.

Potential charges: the driver faces charges ranging from hit-and-run with serious injury to reckless driving, or even attempted murder, depending on intent.

Wider situation: Los Angeles hit-and-run

The case is part of a growing hit-and-run landscape in Los Angeles.

There are more than 7,500 hit-and-run crashes each year, and tickets are issued in only 1 percent of those cases, according to LAPD data.

Avoid crowds in the early morning, especially near nightclubs.

Record and report: if you witness something similar, try to document the scene without putting yourself at risk and notify the police immediately.

Demand medical coverage: if you are injured, seek care at public hospitals or community centers, especially if you do not have insurance.

Support change: participate in neighborhood campaigns demanding more patrols and better street lighting.
