A 32-year-old man was injured in a three-vehicle collision in Hollywood Tuesday evening where the front end of a pickup truck went into a pizza restaurant.
Firefighters responded to the 1600 block of North La Brea Avenue near Hollywood Boulevard shortly after 9:25 p.m. to a report regarding a three- vehicle traffic collision, according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart.
The injured man was taken to a hospital in unknown condition. Stewart said. LAFD Urban Search and Rescue personnel were investigating and stabilizing the building as required.
The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety personnel also evaluated the building’s condition to determine if it could still be occupied, Stewart said.
That “pizza restaurant” is one of the best in the area.
The man who crashed the electric truck was Ferris Bueller’s best friend, Alan Ruck, not even kidding.
I passed by the scene not long after the accident occurred. While the truck going partially into the building is receiving all of the attention, the truly frightening aspect of this accident was the head-on collision between the other two vehicles. The truck was fully intact and more an issue of the damage done to the building. The two cars were totaled and had you wondering how anyone could walk away.
