According to officials, on Wednesday, a robbery suspect who was wanted by the authorities crashed into another vehicle at high speed in South Los Angeles’ Florence-Firestone neighbourhood, injuring seven individuals.

As the plainclothes officers were surveilling on 83rd Street, they caught sight of the suspect, who was driving. They immediately requested helicopter assistance, intending to conduct a traffic stop. However, their plans were foiled as the suspect’s vehicle crashed into another car carrying six people – three adults and three juveniles.
