A fiery crash in downtown Los Angeles sent three people to the hospital on Sunday morning, officials confirmed.
According to the L.A. City Fire Department, a single car crashed into a light pole around 7:38 a.m. near the intersection of Francisco Street and Olympic Boulevard for unknown reasons.
The car subsequently caught fire, and LAFD said bystanders tried to intervene and pull passengers from the burning vehicle.

Details are limited, but officials said one patient was still trapped and required extrication when crews arrived. Footage obtained by KTLA shows multiple LAFD and law enforcement vehicles surrounding a silver sedan that was smashed into a light pole just outside the JW Marriott hotel.
LAFD said all three patients were transported to the hospital — two in serious condition, and one in fair condition. Their identities were not immediately released.
