A police pursuit ended Friday when a suspect vehicle crashed into a passenger bus in the Westlake district, seriously injuring two people and leaving three others with minor injuries, including a Los Angeles Police Department officer.
The crash occurred near Bixel and Sixth streets, according to the LAPD. Firefighters transported two seriously injured patients — reportedly unrestrained occupants of one of the vehicles involved — to a hospital.
Two bus passengers were also taken to a hospital with less serious injuries, and an LAPD officer sustained minor injuries, authorities said.
All suspects were taken into custody following the collision, police said.
The incident was linked to a burglary call reported at about 11:57 a.m. near Miramar Street and Third Street, just a few blocks from the crash scene, though details about the pursuit and the circumstances leading up to the collision were not immediately available.
