Witnesses said federal agents in two unmarked vehicles — a pickup truck and an SUV — were involved in the incident, along with a civilian vehicle, a white sedan.
No serious injuries were immediately reported.
Aerial video from AIR7 showed LAPD officers and Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters at the crash site. The federal vehicles apparently departed before a small crowd gathered on the sidewalk.
