A vehicle crashed into a crowd outside a Los Angeles nightclub late Saturday, injuring 30 people in what authorities are investigating as an intentional act. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) confirmed the driver, whose identity and condition remain undisclosed, was hospitalized for surgery following the incident.
Witnesses described chaos as the car accelerated into a line of people waiting to enter the venue. Emergency services rushed to the scene, transporting multiple victims to nearby hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. The LAPD has not yet disclosed a motive but emphasized the crash was not accidental.
While the incident occurred in the U.S., it underscores broader concerns about public safety in urban centers frequented by global travelers, including Asia's diaspora communities. Authorities urge vigilance and adherence to local advisories.
