One person died and two others were seriously injured in a car accident in Chinatown

An 18-year-old man was killed and six others were injured in a crash outside a Starbucks in LA's Chinatown neighborhood, authorities said Saturday.

Emergency crews responded just before 12:45 a.m. to the scene of the two-vehicle crash at Broadway and Cesar Chavez Avenue, according to a Los Angeles Fire Department report.

The crash occurred when a car traveling west on Cesar Chavez collided with a car traveling north on Broadway, according to Los Angeles Police Department Chief Kevin Terzes. An 18-year-old boy, who was inside the car on Broadway, was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead, said Terzes.

Six others were also taken to the hospital – two of them in critical condition, the other four with non-life-threatening injuries, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart. Two of the six were trapped in the car and were rescued by the fire department, he said.

Footage broadcast by KTLA-TV showed one of the two vehicles face down on the side of the road near the Starbucks' outdoor patio area. Another car, Cesar Chavez, was overturned on the side of the road.

Authorities who responded to the accident lifted the upside down car using a crane, a video broadcast by AKABC-TV Showed.

Terzes, the police spokesperson, said the driver of the first car fled the scene and has not been arrested.
