Waymo crash in LA’s Pico Union sends two to hospital, one critical
Los Angeles Police Department traffic investigators on Monday were looking into the circumstances surrounding an injury collision involving a Waymo autonomous vehicle in the city’s Pico-Union district.
The two-vehicle collision was reported about 5:45 a.m. Sunday on the 1000 block of Venice Boulevard near South Union Avenue, just west of the Los Angeles Convention Center, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The Waymo car collided with a blue sedan occupied by a man, a woman and an infant, none of whom were seriously injured, according to a videographer at the scene who reported all three were treated and released at the scene.
Amid conflicting accounts, the LAPD reported that one person inside the Waymo was critically injured and was taken to a hospital.

However, the videographer reported that a female in a wheelchair — possibly not in either vehicle — was hospitalized in critical condition, and a passenger from the Waymo was transported to a hospital in stable condition.
“A Waymo vehicle was traveling eastbound at approximately 27 miles per hour on Venice Boulevard between South Union Avenue and Toberman Street when it was hit by a blue sedan,” the spokesperson told KTLA. “The blue sedan was traveling in the opposite direction at approximately 47 to 50 miles per hour [and] made contact with a pedestrian with a cart outside of a crosswalk at approximately 42 miles per hour before swerving into the opposite lane and striking the Waymo vehicle.”
