A motor vehicle crash occurred in Encino, California, involving a mother and her 6-year-old daughter and officers from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). The incident took place on the 5600 block of Lindley Avenue, a bit before 9 p.m. The specific causative factors of the accident are yet to be determined. The prevailing query lies in whether the police officers had their patrol vehicles lights and sirens on.
The crash site footage depicted a mother and her small child in a wheelchair, being helped by Los Angeles Fire Department first responders. The mother and daughter were conveyed to a waiting ambulance. The specifics of their injuries remain undisclosed.
The aftermath footage from the incident revealed that the familys vehicle, a dark-colored station wagon, had stopped with its entire front on the pavement. The police cruiser was on the street, in contact with the passenger side of the station wagon. Both automobiles appeared to have suffered minor damage.
An unforeseen aspect of the event was an officer having his left hand examined by a paramedic on site. The specifics regarding any potential harm to the police officers, however, are still not provided. Post-incident, Lindley Avenue, between Burbank Boulevard and Hatteras Avenue, was cordoned off temporarily. The LAPDs West Valley Division undertook the task of investigating and clearing up the scene of the crash.
