A dump truck collided with the legendary Whisky a Go Go music venue in Hollywood, disrupting the area around Sunset Boulevard and Clark Street. The incident, which occurred on Friday, May 9 at approximately 1:40 p.m., involved five vehicles, according to Los Angeles County fire officials. No injuries were reported, but the crash caused a power outage in the vicinity, with crews working to restore electricity.
The Whisky a Go Go, a cultural landmark known for hosting iconic performances since the 1960s, was set to feature the band Boy Hits Car that evening. The irony of the band’s name was not lost on observers, though it remains uncertain whether the scheduled concert will proceed following the incident. The venue has been a cornerstone of the music scene, launching the careers of countless artists and remaining a vital part of Hollywood’s nightlife.
