The vehicles involved were a BMW SUV and a BMW sedan.

A person at the scene said the sedan driver was helped out of the vehicle, and the occupants of the SUV exited on their own.

Los Angeles firefighters from nearby Station 102 were working on turning off the hydrant’s water supply.

Tow trucks were removing the final crashed vehicle — the BMW sedan — about 9:30 a.m.
