Several injured after vehicle drives into crowd leaving soccer match: California officials
Six people were found with minor injuries and taken to area hospitals, the Los Angeles County Fire Department told Nexstar's KTLA. The incident happened shortly before 10:30 p.m.
In an update provided around midnight, L.A. County Fire said the total number of patients was six. However, the Inglewood Police Department said it is still working to confirm the total number of people injured.
KTLA's Rich Prickett reported that witnesses said one of the individuals injured may have been a 14-year-old boy, but authorities have not confirmed the ages of the victims. In addition, footage from Sky5 showed a large paramedic and law enforcement response at the scene, with multiple firetrucks blocking off traffic as investigators responded to the area.
L.A. County Fire said it is unclear how the crash occurred, and could not immediately provide details on the driver or vehicle involved. However, footage from Citizen.com showed a sedan with severe front-end damage, and investigators setting up a perimeter and a canvas next to the debris from the crash.
Mayor James Butts, Jr., told local reporters that the driver allegedly told authorities thaty he had fallen asleep behind the wheel. He was also taken to the hospital.
The crash, which officials declared a mass casualty incident, took place just as fans were leaving the CONCACAF Gold Cup match between Mexico and the Dominican Republic at SoFi.
The match at SoFi Stadium drew 54,309, the Associated Press reported.

2 killed, 6 wounded in shooting at music festival after-party in downtown Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A shooting erupted during a music festival after-party in downtown Los Angeles, killing two people and wounding six others early Monday, authorities said. Authorities first responded around 11 p.m. Sunday to shut down a 'big party' after officers saw a person possibly armed with a gun go inside a building in a downtown warehouse district, said Officer Norma Eisenman. That person was arrested at the scene, she said. The party had been promoted on social media as an after-party for Hard Summer, a weekend techno-music festival held at Hollywood Park, about 9 miles (14 km) away in Inglewood, KTLA-TV reported. Shortly after officers had cleared the area, police received a report of shots fired around 1 a.m. When the officers returned, they found one person dead and learned multiple people had been struck by gunfire, Eisenman said in an email. A male victim died at the scene and a female victim died at a hospital, Eisenman said. Six people were taken to hospitals in unknown condition, she said. There was no suspect information. Investigators remained at the scene for hours..
