Several victims are in critical condition after the overnight crash near Hollywood, according to the local fire department

At least 30 people were injured, seven of them critically, when an "unknown vehicle" slammed into a crowd in East Hollywood after midnight on Saturday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD).

A preliminary investigation has suggested the driver may have lost consciousness before colliding, Captain Adam Van Gerpen, the public information officer for the LAFD, has said, as quoted by Newsweek.

The crash occurred at around 2am near a music venue. Van Gerpen reported that a line of people had been waiting to enter a nightclub when a Nissan Versa struck them, also hitting a taco truck and a valet stand.

Paramedics found that one of the patients had a gunshot wound, according to Van Gerpen. He added that the identity of this individual was not yet known.

"This is under police investigation. This will be a large investigation with the LAPD," Van Gerpen said.

Videos circulating online show the aftermath of the crash, with emergency vehicles at the scene.

Earlier, on Friday, an explosion rocked the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department training facility, killing at least three veteran deputies. The department has not said what they were doing at the time or what caused the explosion, the Associated Press has said.
