At least 30 hurt after car hits crowd outside Los Angeles club
At least seven people were in critical condition and six others were seriously injured, the fire department said in an online statement.
The incident, which took place outside a club, occurred just before 2 a.m. local time (0900 GMT), the fire and police departments said.
Captain Adam VanGerpen, a fire department spokesperson, was quoted by ABC News as saying the car apparently first careened into a taco truck outside the club and then through a valet stand and into a large group of people.
The Los Angeles Police Department said on X it was still investigating why the driver slammed into the crowd.
Officers responding to a radio call of an assault with a deadly weapon found the driver had been shot while being assaulted by onlookers, the police said, adding that he was taken to a hospital and his condition was unknown.
A man suspected of shooting the driver fled the scene on foot and possibly was armed with a silver revolver, the police said. Reuters

Colonist attack Ramallah-area town, burn two vehicles
Ammon News - Colonists attacked the town of Taybeh, east of Ramallah, at dawn on Monday, burning two vehicles and spray-painting racist graffiti on the walls. Local sources reported that colonists infiltrated the town at dawn, attacked residents' homes, and set fire to two vehicles, completely burning them. They also spray-painted racist and threatening graffiti on the outer wall of one of the homes. The sources added that Israeli occupation forces stormed the town with several military vehicles following the attack. On June 4, colonists established a new colonial outpost on the ruins of the homes of a Palestinian family who were displaced about a year ago following a series of violent attacks in the town of Taybeh. On July 7, colonists set fire to the historic cemetery and church of St. George (Al-Khader) in the town, sparking widespread church and international condemnation of the settlers' attacks on holy sites and places of worship. On July 14, a number of patriarchs and heads of churches in Jerusalem, along with diplomats from more than 20 Arab and foreign countries, visited the town of Taybeh, in light of the dangerous escalation in colonists' attacks on the town, its property, and its holy sites, especially the Christian churches and cemeteries.
