Fire crews rescued several people trapped in one of the cars. Four people were taken to the hospital, including an infant who is “fighting for her life,” Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said.
A 9-year-old girl, a 23-year-old woman and a 48-year-old woman were all listed in serious condition. A fifth person, a 23-year-old man, suffered minor injuries and is in CHP custody, Humphrey said. Further details were not released. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
