At least 30 people were injured when a vehicle plowed into a crowd outside the Vermont Hollywood nightclub in East Hollywood, Los Angeles, early Saturday morning. The incident occurred around 2 a.m. on July 19, 2025, and has left three people in critical condition, eight to 10 in serious condition, and 10 to 15 in fair condition [1, 2, 3, 4].The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) responded to the scene with over 120 personnel. Captain Adam VanGerpen, a public information officer for the LAFD, stated that the driver of the vehicle appeared to lose consciousness before hitting a taco cart and then running into the crowd [3]. Authorities are investigating whether medical, mechanical, or external factors contributed to the crash.
Among the injured, one victim had a gunshot wound, according to the LAFD. The nightclub was hosting a concert billed as "So-Cal’s Biggest Reggaeton & Hip-Hop Party" [1]. The crash happened near the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Vermont Avenue.
The area remains closed to traffic as investigators from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and LAFD continue to gather evidence, review surveillance footage, and speak with witnesses [4]. Residents and local businesses have expressed concern over pedestrian safety in high-traffic nightlife areas.
