One person was killed and two were hospitalized with critical injuries Friday in a police pursuit of an alleged human trafficking suspect that turned deadly, authorities said.
Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Hollywood Division’s Vice Unit began a pursuit of the suspect at approximately 11:35 p.m. Thursday and at 11:45 p.m. the suspect collided with two uninvolved vehicles near Wilton Place and Sixth Street near Koreatown, LAPD Officer Jeff Lee told City News Service.
A person in one of the vehicles was pronounced dead at the scene and two in the other vehicle were taken to a hospital and were in critical condition, Lee said.
The suspect, who CBS 2 reported was suspected of human trafficking, was taken into custody at the scene and transported to a hospital in unknown condition.
There was no description of the vehicles involved in the collision and no further details were available.
