LOS ANGELES—Eight people, including four children, were injured in a multi-vehicle collision at a three-way intersection in the neighborhood of Sylmar on May 23 that left one of the vehicles overturned.
According to Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey, the crash occurred shortly before 3 p.m. in the 14900 block of West Hubbard Street. At least four vehicles were involved in the crash.
