Update Traffic Collision with Fire 07/01/2024 INC#1671

Update Traffic Collision with Fire; INC#1671; 08:15PM; 13136 W Sherman Wy; https://bit.ly/3xKa9eb; #ValleyGlen; One vehicle with two occupants collided directly into the rear of a vehicle parked curbside, which created a chain-reaction collision ultimately causing damage to four vehicles (one occupied and moving, and three unoccupied and parked-in-line). Though the errant vehicle caught fire shortly after the collision and was well involved on firefighter's arrival, the two adult male occupants of that car had been able to extract themselves from the wreckage prior to fire department arrival. The flames were quickly confined to the errant vehicle and the first vehicle it collided with. The two men, one in fair condition, the other in serious condition, were taken to an area hospital by LAFD Paramedics. No other injuries were reported.
