LOS ANGELES - A vehicle plowed into a group of pedestrians in the North Hollywood district of Los Angeles on Tuesday, killing three people and leaving at least three others critically injured, the city fire department reported, according to a report from Reuters published by The Guardian.

The three injured people were taken to area hospitals, The Guardian's report said. The summary of that report does not describe their conditions further and does not explain how they were treated.

The Guardian's summary also said, citing reports, that a car crashed into a food stand in North Hollywood. The summary does not identify which reports made that claim or explain how the food stand relates to the pedestrians who were struck.

The Guardian's summary does not name any of the three people who were killed, and it does not identify the driver or say what caused the vehicle to strike the pedestrians. Those details were not included in the portion of the report available for this story.

The city fire department is the only agency the summary names as a source for the casualty figures, which cover the deaths and the critical injuries. The summary does not say whether officials have released additional information since then.

This account relies on a single summary of a Reuters report published by The Guardian, and it reports only the facts that summary contains.
