Two people were in critical condition after a multi-car crash Saturday night in Pacific Palisades, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
At least five cars were involved in the collision shortly before 9 p.m. in the 14800 block of Pacific Coast Highway, which left several cars badly smashed, authorities said.
Seven people were injured in the accident near Entrada Drive, with two taken to a hospital with severe injuries. Two people sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Television news and social media video of the incident showed emergency personnel and bystanders crowding the scene near a Chevron gas station.
A white sedan was left with its backside completely destroyed not far from a damaged black Mini Cooper. A nearby black sedan appeared severely damaged, with its front bumper missing and door torn off.
A Fire Department spokesperson said Sunday morning that no additional details were available.
