At least three people were killed in a three-car accident in Winnetka on Sunday night, the Los Angeles Fire Department said.
The crash occurred at about 9 p.m. in the 1970 block of West Vanowen Street, the LAFD said in a warning.
Three people were pronounced dead at the scene, while as many as seven people “are being examined with various injuries,” the fire service said.
The deceased are three men, ages 25, 30 and 30, the LAFD added in an update.
The update added that six people were injured, all of whom were “persistent” possible serious injuries as a result of the injury mechanism, but all were stable during transport,” the fire service added.
Their names, ages and genders were not immediately available.
A preliminary investigation indicates that a black Ford Explorer was traveling at about 65 or 70 mph when it hit a dip and collided with two other vehicles, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The three men who died were in the Explorer, police added, while a pregnant woman in one of the cars that was hit is okay.
