Car Crashes into Building, Pedestrian at Wilshire/La Brea

wilshirelabreacrash.jpg A car crash into a Bank of America building around 8:20 a.m. has left at least one person injured and traffic snarled along the Wilshire and La Brea corridors. "It's a mess, avoid the intersection for the next hour or so, said a KNX1070 broadcaster. Records with the L.A. Fire Department do not indicate a car into the building yet, but show a possible auto vs. pedestrian incident. A fire hydrant has also been sheared, shooting water into the air.

Passed this at about 8:30 this morning. The geyser was epic. We saw one guy on a stretcher, a white car on the sidewalk, and a handful of firemen and paramedics. They were trying to divert the stream with a board. Hope everyone survived in one piece.
