1 killed, 3 hospitalized in Playa del Rey crash

At least one person is dead and three others are in critical condition after a head-on crash in Playa del Rey Tuesday night.

The two-vehicle collision happened on the 8800 block of Vista Del Mar shortly before 8 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Emergency crews arrived at the scene to find multiple people injured. One person was found dead inside a wrecked vehicle. 

Three others were transported to the hospital in critical condition. At least two of the passengers required extrication, officials said.

Some of the people transported were identified as a 30-year-old woman, an 18-year-old girl, an 18-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy.

Sky5 video of the scene showed a blue sedan and a white SUV with major damage. The blue sedan was completely destroyed and appeared to be the vehicle crews were extricating passengers from.

A large amount of auto debris was strewn across the roadway, which runs parallel to Dockweiler Beach. The road remains closed as a large law enforcement presence responded to the scene.

The events leading up to the fatal head-on crash remain unclear. No victim identities have been released so far.
