4 people injured in Covina multi-car crash stemming from domestic dispute, police say

Four people were hospitalized after a multi-car crash stemming from a domestic dispute in Covina early Wednesday morning, according to police.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department said it dispatched crews at 5:50 a.m. after receiving reports of a crash involving five vehicles near the intersection of Cypress Street and Hollenback Avenue.

Four people were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Covina Police Department.

In a news release, Covina PD detectives said that the crash was the result of a domestic dispute that happened between a husband and wife at their home in the 1300 block of Edenfield Avenue, about a mile from where the crash occurred. 

Following the incident, police say that the woman left the home with one of her daughters and that her husband was following them in a different vehicle, which he was using to allegedly ram their car. 

"The repeated collisions caused the victim's vehicle to strike several other vehicles before ultimately rolling over," Covina police said. 

Despite attempting to run from the scene after the crash in what officers called "an apparent attempt to evade law enforcement," the man was taken into custody after police established a perimeter in the area. 

He has not yet been publicly identified as the investigation continues. Police said that he was booked for attempted murder.

Aerial footage from the scene showed several wrecked cars and debris in the roadway.

Police asked anyone with more information to contact Detective Preciado at (626) 384-5622 or dpreciado@covinaca.gov.
