LOS ANGELES — A traffic accident in South L.A. involving a Los Angeles Fire Department truck sent seven people to the hospital Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
In a statement, the LAFD said three civilian vehicles and one Fire Department vehicle were involved in the crash on Figueroa Street , just north of 120th street, in the Vermont Vista neighborhood.

The Fire Department said the hospitalized victims included six civilians and an LAFD member — one of whom had to be extricated from their vehicle.
The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the incident. LAPD and LAFD spokespeople said they could not immediately provide additional information.
Sunday’s accident comes a few days after another LAFD vehicle crashed on city streets. On Wednesday, an ambulance was involved in a collision with another vehicle that injured three LAFD personnel and one other person. The ambulance was transporting a seriously injured patient at the time of the crash, authorities said.
