At least 30 people were injured when a car slammed into a crowd outside a nightclub in Los Angeles, according to the fire department.

The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed the incident occurred in the downtown area and involved a single vehicle crashing into a crowd gathered near the club entrance.

First responders rushed to the scene just after midnight and treated dozens of victims, several of whom suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The injured were transported to various local hospitals.

Details remain sketchy. Authorities have not confirmed whether the crash was accidental or intentional. The driver remained at the scene and is reportedly cooperating with police.

Witnesses described a scene of chaos, with people screaming and running in all directions. “It was like a war zone,” one bystander told local media. “People were bleeding, crying — it was terrifying.”

Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and speaking with witnesses to determine what led up to the crash.

As of Saturday morning, the LAPD has not released the identity of the driver or commented on possible charges.

The area remains cordoned off as the investigation continues.
