1 Trapped In Valley Blvd. Crash That May Be Linked To Shooting

ALHAMBRA, CA — One person was freed from the wreckage of a single- vehicle crash in Alhambra Tuesday morning that may be related to a shooting that had occurred in Los Angeles.

Officers responded to a call of a major traffic crash at Valley Boulevard and Cabrillo Avenue about 2 a.m. and located a white SUV on the sidewalk with significant front-end damage, according to the Alhambra Police Department.

A Los Angeles Police Department airship assisted officers on the ground as they quickly set up a perimeter but later determined that all occupants of the SUV were detained at the scene, the APD said.

Alhambra firefighters needed about an hour to free the injured passenger from the vehicle, police said.

Both the driver and passenger were taken to a hospital with unknown injuries.

Details of the shooting were not immediately released.

Eastbound Valley Boulevard was shut down at Westmont Drive until further notice.
