5 injured after multi-car crash involving MTA bus in Florence-Graham area

Multiple people were injured after a multi-car crash involving an MTA bus in the Florence-Graham area late Sunday evening. 

Firefighters were dispatched to the area near E. Florence Avenue and Compton Avenue at around 7:55 p.m. after learning of the crash, according to Los Angeles County Fire Department. 

Firefighters said that at least five people were injured in the incident, all of which were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment. Their conditions are not immediately known. 

The crash happened when one of the two cars rear-ended the bus, for an unknown reason. The second car then slammed into the back of the first car.

Investigators have not yet disclosed if the injured people were inside of the bus or other vehicles. 

With SkyCal overhead, one of the cars could be seen perched on the hood of another vehicle, just feet behind the bus as dozens of pedestrians looked on.
