Injuries reach 30 in car attack outside Los Angeles nightclub, driver shot UPDATED

20 July 2025 14:30

At least 30 people were injured after a car ploughed through a crowd early on July 19 in East Hollywood, authorities said. The driver was pulled from the vehicle and shot after the crash.

It happened outside The Vermont Hollywood nightclub near the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Vermont Avenue around 2 a.m. as the venue closed for the night, Caliber.Az reports, citing American media.

Investigators say after reviewing security footage, they are sure it was an intentional act.

Los Angeles police say eight minutes after club security escorted a man outside, kicking him out of The Vermont Hollywood, he drove a Nissan Versa up onto the sidewalk, ramming into the packed crowd and injuring at least 30 people -- one of them critically.

The crowd then turned on the driver, pulling him from his car and kicking and punching him before someone else approached and shot the man.

The driver has been identified as a 29-year-old Fernando Ramirez. He was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. The district attorney will decide the actual charges, which have not yet been filed.

14:58, July 19

A serious incident unfolded in East Hollywood, densely populated neighborhood in the central region of Los Angeles, California, on the morning of July 19 when a car drove into a crowd on Santa Monica Boulevard, injuring at least 20 people.

Emergency responders rushed to the scene near the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Vermont Avenue around 2:00 a.m. local time, where the vehicle had mounted the sidewalk and crashed into a group of people gathered outside The Vermont venue and a nearby gas station, Caliber.Az reports, citing US media.

Initial reports indicate that five individuals are in critical condition, eight to ten are seriously injured, and around a dozen others sustained minor injuries.

Debris was scattered across the road as crowds milled about in the aftermath of the incident. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) confirmed it was actively coordinating triage and transport for the injured.

The incident may have followed an outbreak of violence in the area. According to unconfirmed eyewitness accounts, a fight reportedly involving around 15 people broke out prior to the collision, and shots may have been fired. Police confirmed that a 911 call was received reporting gunfire in the vicinity during the altercation.

Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the crash was accidental or intentional, and investigations are ongoing.
