One person was killed and nine injured after a vehicle crashed into a portable taco stand and parked vehicles tonight in the 300 block of S. Clarence Street, according to the L.A. Fire Department.

The crash that was reportedat 9:25 p.m left two persons in critical condition and a third with a minor injury. The other six who were hurt declined to be transported to a hospital, according to LAFD.

ABC 7 reports that a Nissan Altima crashed into people in front of the taco stand as well as vehicles near the stand.

Prayers for the family. MAKE IT STOP! screamed the boston globe. A full auto assault vehicle was involved in this attack on latinos yet there's no outcry and demand they be taken off the street. What's up with that homey? Was it an accident or is it a cover up? No name of the driver yet.

To avoid La Migra, no doubt.

Geez. I never thought of that. LOL! Even if the CBP was called in, they’d probably give them cab fare back to the taco stand. Deportation? What’s that?

Proof the Southern Boardet illegals rarely assimilate otherwise they would know LA is a sanctuary city in a sanctuary State. Go get yourself some free taxpayer funded emergency room care.

My first thought was an inebriated illegal taking out an unlicensed taco stand catering to illegal immigrants...somewhat confirmed by the six refusing transport.

One that can easily be pulled across the southern border.

If the driver aimed the vehicle, it’s murder. If not, then manslaughter for carelessness. ... We need ID locks on these Altimas, asap, for the chilrin.

Taco bike, upscale gabacho version

Hmmmm. Were there Takata air bags involved? They’re everywhere.

Typical Altima. A Sentra never would have done this.

How many horsepower does anybody “need” anyway? Enough is enough. :)

Actually, portable food carts are now passé. The new trend is full food trucks, mostly because you can put what amounts to a full kitchen in a truck. It's not a coincidence that the explosion of the variety of foods you can buy nowadays arrived with much wider usage of food trucks.

In fact, I rarely see food carts nowadays.

Yup. We have food truck Fridays here in town. Quite the variety.
