Los Angeles, CA. – Multiple people were injured Monday evening after a three-vehicle crash involving an LAX shuttle bus near the Los Angeles International Airport, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The collision was reported around 5:25 p.m. at the intersection of Jetway Boulevard and Westchester Parkway, near an airport parking structure.
Fire officials said 25 people were evaluated at the scene for possible injuries. Two occupants from the passenger vehicles were transported to a hospital, with one person reported in serious condition and the other suffering minor, non-life-threatening injuries.
Aerial footage showed a black sedan that appeared to have rear-ended the LAX shuttle bus, while two additional sedans were stopped nearby.
The shuttle bus was occupied at the time of the crash, though no passengers from the bus were reported hospitalized.
The cause of the crash has not been determined. Authorities continue to investigate the incident.
Los Angeles County has historically experienced significant traffic safety challenges, although recent data indicates some improvements in its California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) rankings and a decrease in total victims killed and injured from peak years. The county consistently ranks as one of the most dangerous in the state for traffic collisions, leading in both population and accident volume. In 2022, there were 8,944 victims killed and injured in total fatal and injury collisions, which gave the county an OTS ranking of 14 out of 15 comparable entities, indicating improvement from previous years, where it ranked 1/15 (worst) in 2018 and 2019. Despite overall improvements in rankings, specific collision types remain a concern. In 2022, there were 1,524 pedestrian victims killed and injured, and 475 bicyclist victims killed and injured. Pedestrians, in particular, account for a disproportionately high number of traffic deaths in the region, a trend that has persisted in recent years. Alcohol-involved collisions also contributed significantly to the 2022 statistics, with 1,676 victims killed and injured.
