A vehicle drove into a busy crowd of people waiting to get into a nightclub in Los Angeles early Saturday, injuring 30 people, with at least three in critical condition.

The incident took place on Santa Monica Boulevard, the city’s fire department said, and people were quickly transported to local hospitals and trauma centers.

According to Cpt Adam VanGerpen, the public information officer for the Los Angeles fire department, the line of people struck by the vehicle, a Nissan Versa, were mostly female, and were waiting to get into the nightclub when the car also hit a taco truck and a nearby valet stand.

The paramedics on the scene determined that one of the patients had a gunshot wound, VanGerpen said.

Not a lot to go on here, overall. The gunshot wound is a weird asterisk on whether the driver had an emergent medical condition that could explain this as a true accident.
