PARAMOUNT, Calif. — Four people were injured in a multi-vehicle crash Tuesday morning.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lakewood Station deputies and Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel responded to the intersection of East Alondra Boulevard and South Garfield Avenue in Paramount shortly before 12:15 a.m. regarding a multi-vehicle traffic collision.
Upon arrival, they located one unresponsive male adult in a red older model sedan, trapped within the wreckage. Firefighters utilized the Jaws of Life to pop a door open and free the patient. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where according to an LASD department source, the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.
An additional male from a white jeep, which plowed into a light standard on the opposite side of the road after striking the red sedan, was also hospitalized with major injuries, however, he was responsive.
Two additional people who were possibly in a black sedan were assessed for minor injuries. It is unclear if they were transported.
Alondra Boulevard was shut down in all directions just east of Garfield Avenue pending further investigation into what led to this potentially fatal crash.
