On Friday night, a severe four-vehicle collision resulted in two critically injured individuals. The incident involved high-end luxury vehicles, and law enforcement agencies are still on the hunt for the driver of one of the cars.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the accident took place around 9:50 p.m. in Panorama City, near Sherman Way and Sherman Circle. It was indicated that both a Mercedes GT63 and a Rolls Royce Cullinan were heading west on Sherman Way at high speeds.
The Mercedes reportedly collided with a Honda Civic that was turning left onto Sherman Circle. Two occupants in the Honda were critically injured and are currently under receiving treatment in a local hospital. The individuals have yet to be publicly identified.
The collisions impact caused the Rolls Royces driver to veer left, leading the car onto the wrong side of the road, collided with a Chevy Traverse, and hit the curb. Following the crash, the driver absconded from the scene, and has yet to be located by authorities. The police have issued a reckless driving and hit-and-run charges against the driver.
The driver of the Mercedes was also charged with reckless driving and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The police are still investigating whether the Mercedes and Rolls Royce drivers were allegedly involved in a street race.
