Dump truck plows into Hollywood's iconic Whisky a Go Go club on the Sunset Strip

A dump truck crashed into several cars and a power line before colliding with famed concert venue Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood on Friday afternoon. 

It happened at around 1:45 p.m. near Clark Street and Sunset Boulevard, according to Los Angeles County firefighters. 

They say that the truck, which appeared to be carrying sand, slammed into six other vehicles, snapped a power line and wound up crashing into the music club. Ironically, a band named "Boy Hits Car" is scheduled to perform on Friday night. Their show was postponed due to the aftermath of the crash.

Because of the damage caused to the power line, SoCal Edison shut off power in the area. Power was fully restored to the area at 3:30 a.m., officials said.

LA County deputies were also dispatched to the location after learning of the collision. 

They say that it happened near a dead end area, where the truck was traveling parked on a downhill slope when there may have been an issue with the breaks. There was no one inside of the truck when the incident happened, witnesses said.

 As the truck continued downhill, it closed in on a USPS truck that was parked on the road. 

The postman was able to jump from the truck and into the street to avoid getting hit, deputies said. He suffered some injuries, but did not require hospitalization.

There were no reports of any other injuries. 

"The entire building shook violently, a lot of us thought it was an earthquake at first," said Liliana Seidel, who works at the venue. "We thought a bomb went off, then the power just cut immediately throughout the building."
