At least one person has died after a driver slammed into a crowd of pedestrians on the Venice boardwalk Saturday evening, and authorities say a person has been detained for questioning.
The incident occurred about 6 p.m. at the boardwalk's intersection with Dudley Avenue. "The vehicle appeared to be moving purposefully down the boardwalk, according to witnesses," said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Humphrey said initially that a dozen people people had been injured, two critically and two seriously, while the rest sustained minor injuries.
