Woman Killed, Another In Critical Condition After Van Nuys Crash Involving Tesla

One person was killed and another hospitalized in critical condition Thursday after a crash involving a Tesla in Van Nuys.

Firefighters were sent to the 16400 block of West Roscoe Boulevard in Van Nuys at about 7:10 a.m. to help the victims of the crash.

Los Angeles Fire dispatcher Margaret Stewart said two patients had to be extricated from one of the vehicles. A woman was declared dead at the scene. Her name was withheld pending notification of her family.

The second person was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Both cars involved in the crash appeared to have significant front-end damage. An unidentifiable white sedan was left in front of a bus shelter with its trunk open. A white Tesla with apparently major hood damage was left in lanes several feet in front of the tent covering the fatal crash scene.
