A woman at the scene described about 200 feet (60 metres) of debris after an SUV plowed into a group of pedestrians in the North Hollywood district of Los Angeles on Tuesday (November 10), killing at least three people.
"I did talk to somebody who did hear, unfortunately, the screaming. And he said that it was unbearable," said a bystander, Brigitte Ballard.
Three people hit by the vehicle were declared dead at the scene, while two pedestrians and the driver of the vehicle were taken to hospitals, the Los Angeles police and fire departments said.
The crash happened shortly before 6 p.m. PST (0200 GMT). A police spokesperson said investigators had yet to determine if it was accidental or deliberate.

4. (SOUNDBITE) (English) OFFICER AT LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT, WARNER CASTILLO, SAYING:
"Witnesses are telling us that he wasn't here. He was in the car. He wasn't coming out. So normally when you you're in an accident, you come out, right? But he was in the car, so I don't know if he was in shock or what was going on, but we had to extract him out of the vehicle."
5. (SOUNDBITE) (English) BYSTANDER, BRIGITTE BALLARD, SAYING:
"So from what I can gather, it sounds like somebody barrelled through, coming down this way and just took them all out. And it's like a... I would probably say 200 feet (60 metres) of debris and just barrelled through. I hear that three are unfortunately deceased and three in critical. So I hope that the other three pull through. But I mean, it's so sad."

7. (SOUNDBITE) (English) BYSTANDER, BRIGITTE BALLARD, SAYING:
"I did talk to somebody who did hear, unfortunately, the screaming. And he said that it was unbearable. He heard the crash first. And he had headphones in apparently. And he still heard it and, yeah."
8. (SOUNDBITE) (English) EYEWITNESS, ANGELA PARKER, SAYING (ON THE VICTIMS):
"Yeah, they're like food vendors. They're over there making a living, trying to feed the homeless or feed everybody. And they're so kind to me. They're always over there giving me chips or drinks and stuff. They're always polite to me."
9. (SOUNDBITE) (English) EYEWITNESS, GIAN BARBARONA, SAYING:
"It was zero to screeching, and I just went like that. I saw everything go up where that area is with the vendors, and they all just went up. And they all collectively went down. Just got pushed. I initially thought that, of course like it gave me time to be like 'whoa it's a car'. But I initially thought the car went inside the station. That's how bad it was for sure."
