Driver in Deadly Crash Outside Los Angeles Metro Station Is Arrested on 3 Murder Counts, Police Say
Investigators are reviewing crash video frame by frame as the driver, Ihor Demianenko, faces three murder counts, police said.
- On Tuesday, a minivan crashed into pedestrians and vendors at a North Hollywood metro station in Los Angeles, killing 3 people and critically injuring 2. Police arrested the 61-year-old driver, Ihor Demianenko, on 3 counts of murder.
- Police have not yet identified a cause for the collision or whether Demianenko acted intentionally, though he appeared in shock after the crash. The vehicle ended up beneath a food vendor's tent.
- Witness Luis Luna-Guzman, working at a nearby burger stand, heard a loud boom and found victims on the ground. He told an injured woman, "Don't move, help is coming," as emergency crews arrived.
- LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said authorities will conduct a frame-by-frame video review in a prolonged, deliberate investigation. Transit spokesperson Jose Ubaldo noted one metro entrance remains closed, though bus and subway services operate normally.
- Mayor Karen Bass noted the victims included street vendors and pedestrians in the close-knit North Hollywood community described by Los Angeles City Council member Adrin Nazarian. It remains unclear whether Demianenko has secured legal representation.
