NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA – Traffic came to a standstill on Lankershim Boulevard this Wednesday after a multi-vehicle crash in North Hollywood involving five cars left seven people injured. The collision occurred between Oxnard Street and Erwin Street, a busy stretch of the boulevard.
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, two victims are in critical condition, while five others sustained less severe injuries. The identities of those involved have not yet been released.
