LOS ANGELES – A woman in her 50s and her teenage daughter were injured Saturday when a vehicle drove onto a sidewalk in downtown Los Angeles and struck them.
Firefighters and paramedics were dispatched at 9:42 a.m. Saturday to 916 S. San Pedro St. in the Flower District, the Los Angeles Fire Department reported.
