Five people were critically injured when a car slammed into a pole in Huntington Park Sunday evening, according to officials from the Los Angeles County Fire Department. 

The crash occurred around 6:00 p.m. at Randolph Street where officials say the same driver was involved in another hit-and-run crash right before this one. 

The driver is in custody and facing numerous charges, officials said.

Paramedics transported a total of five patients in the car to local hospitals, all of them with critical injuries. 

The crash, as well as the one before it, are now both under investigation.
