The crash occurred about 1:40 p.m. Thursday in View Park-Windsor Hills, an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County, the L.A. County Fire Department said in a tweet. Details about the deadly crash are sill emerging, but the department said it has assessed and transported 14 people, five of whom were dead on arrival and eight injured and taken to area hospitals.

The crash was captured on surveillance video by a nearby business and posted online. The footage shows a black car speeding into a busy intersection and crashing into other vehicles, igniting into a fireball that comes to a halt outside of a gas station. After the crash settles, the video shows heavy black smoke billowing through the intersection and cars off to the side.

The L.A. County Fire Department posted an aerial video showing the police and emergency vehicles that swarmed the intersection, as well as the track marks from the speeding car and the blackened remains of the fire.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) told ABC affiliate KABC-TV that they suspect the crash was caused by the driver of a Mercedes-Benz speeding south of La Brea Avenue and running a red light. At least six vehicles were involved in the crash and three of them caught fire, the station reports.

The driver of the Mercedes survived the crash and is in the hospital with serious injuries, reported CBS affiliate KCAL-TV.

Crash victim Debra Jackson described her experience to KCAL:

“All of a sudden, I heard a big explosion, but as I was trying to turn around, the flames just went over everybody,” Jackson said. “The flames went over my whole car and they told me to jump out of my car … because I was trying to get out of my car, to go to the gas pump. And I jumped out of my car and just left my car sitting right there.”

Harper Washington told KABC that the entire intersection looked like it was on fire.

“I was under the impression that, really at first I thought they dropped a bomb on us,” Washington told the station. “I thought another world war had started. Then I realized it was a car into the sign.”

“Once the fire went away and the booming left, I realized it was two cars there,” she said. “You could see the people on fire and that’s just sad. I really pray for the people and the community.”

Newsweek has reached out to CHP for comment.
