Three people were dead after a multivehicle crash on the border of Willowbrook and Watts Friday night, police said.

The collision occurred around 7:15 p.m. on Imperial Highway, near the intersection with Compton Avenue, according to Los Angeles police Officer Drake Madison.


It’s unclear how many cars were involved, or if there were any survivors. Madison said he couldn’t provide further details Friday night.

Aerial footage of the scene showed one vehicle that came to rest upside down.

No other damaged vehicles were visible at the crash site by 10:15 p.m., but three tents had been set up in separate areas where the victims apparently came to rest.

No information on the victims’ genders and ages was available.
