Three Killed, Three Critically Injured After SUV Plows Into Pedestrians In North Hollywood

Three people were killed and at least three others were critically injured after an SUV drove onto a sidewalk and struck a group of pedestrians and street vendors near the North Hollywood Metro station Tuesday evening.

On November 10, 2026, at approximately 5:55 p.m., Los Angeles firefighters and paramedics responded to reports of a major traffic collision in the 5300 block of Lankershim Boulevard near Chandler Boulevard.

According to Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Lyndsey Lantz, emergency crews arrived to find three people who were beyond medical assistance. All three were pronounced dead at the scene.

At least three additional victims were transported to local hospitals in critical condition.

Witnesses described a horrifying scene as the SUV traveled along Lankershim Boulevard before driving onto the sidewalk and crashing through an area where street vendors regularly operate.

Kassandra Guzman, 12, told the Los Angeles Times she was sitting at her family’s smash burger stand across the street when she witnessed the vehicle crash through a blue tarp covering several food vendors.

The vendors reportedly sold coffee, tamales, hot dogs, and pastries, and some had been working in the area for years.

Los Angeles police closed the 5300 block of Lankershim Boulevard while investigators examined the crash scene.

The identities of the three deceased victims have not been released pending notification of their families.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and no additional information regarding the driver was immediately available.
