A Saturday afternoon crash in Los Angeles sent eight people to hospitals, including a three-year-old and a nine-year-old who is in serious condition, after a vehicle crashed in the Arlington Heights neighborhood.

Eight people, including two young children, were rushed to hospitals Saturday after a car plowed onto a sidewalk in a Los Angeles neighborhood, leaving a 9-year-old in serious condition.

The driver was described as a man around 60 years old who appeared to have remained at the scene, according to KTLA 5. He was reportedly taken into custody by Los Angeles police officers, The California Post has reached out to LAPD to confirm.

It was not immediately clear what caused the vehicle to veer onto the sidewalk or whether the driver was among those taken to the hospital.

Authorities have not released the identities of those injured or provided further details about their conditions.

Traffic was expected to be delayed in the area, with northbound traffic on 10th Avenue shut down at 23rd Street, the fire department said.
