Good Nite LA, Tuesday 11/10/2026

Welcome to Good Night LA. I'm Christine Devine. In North Hollywood, three people are dead. Three others are in critical condition after a car slams into a crowd near Metro Station. Fox 11's Ed Laskos is live at the scene. Ed. Christine, a horrible tragedy here. Three people die as a result of that out-of-control minivan slamming into a crowd on the sidewalk. Three others critically hurt, including the driver of that out-of-control vehicle. Joe, take us into this. Sad story. Looking past the LAPD, they're having a bit of a briefing there, but through the crowd, you might be able to make out the back end of that white minivan up on the sidewalk. It was coming in this direction southbound on Lancashire for some unknown reason. It veers to the right, right into the crowd up on the sidewalk. Better look at some video from earlier up closer to the scene. It winds up on the sidewalk, and it's right up right at the entrance of the North Hollywood Metro Station. It never really... It broke into the metro station itself, but it was on the sidewalk where it was loaded with a lot of vendors, street vendors, and it really happened at really the heart of the evening rush hour, about five minutes to six o'clock, so we had a lot of folks, commuters, coming out from the subway, from the trains, coming out of this area to catch other buses to continue with their commute, also trying to grab some food to get something to eat, and all of a sudden something like this happens. Terrible tragedy. One of the eyewitnesses says it was like a whoosh going by. Listen to him. I just saw a whoosh. And everything kind of like went up and just went down instantly. So that's how quick the events was, up to the point that I really thought, I knew it was a car, because it was like out of nowhere, I thought the car went inside the station. That's how the visual looked like. When I started walking, my reaction immediately was like, whoa, like it was, whoa, like that's such an unbelievable image to see in front of you, and then I saw the casualties. The driver is a male. Mid-60s, when he was extracted out of the vehicle, he was in the car. He wasn't coming out. So normally when you're in an accident, you come out, right? But he was in the car, so don't know if he was in shock or what was going on. But he had to be extracted out of the vehicle. And this is some really stirring video from that eyewitness who said he had felt a whoosh. And then this is literally moments, seconds after the crash itself. You can see the chaotic scene, debris all over the place and even flying up to the escalator and the stairs that folks would use, the commuters would use to come out from the subway itself. And then you have the three people who die here, killed instantly by the force, the impact of that out-of-control vehicle. And then two others. Critical condition. The driver, as the LAPD has been telling us, they're still trying to find out why this happened. He's a man in his mid-60s. No indication yet as all the investigation goes on. As we come back out live, certainly as you can imagine, the metro station here, cameras all over the place, and LAPD even at this very moment is looking at that video, trying to get a better idea. And also we're looking at this area because we're thinking LAPD was just saying they may have another briefing here shortly to give us an update on the situation. The captain may give us an update on the situation, particularly the situation involving the driver who is hospitalized right now. We'll see if it'll be coming soon. But they promised us something here, Christine, maybe some new information. We'll see how it plays out. All right, standing by for that, Ed. Thanks very much. We're going to go live now to a shot by photojournalist Mike Armijo, who is outside the Northridge Hospital Medical Center. We're still waiting to learn about those who were injured in that crash. Right now, the victims' identities are being withheld until families are notified for those who have died. Developing tonight in Claremont, San Bernardino County deputies say a suspect barricaded himself on Utah Court near Victoria Place. Deputies started around 1 this afternoon as they tried to serve a search warrant. Claremont police described the incident as isolated and did ask people to avoid the area. Public safety topping the agenda at tonight's Windsor Square Town Hall. The neighborhood association there bringing LAPD officers to the Ebell Theater, inviting neighbors to ask questions. Fox 11's Christy Fajardo is live with concerns people brought to that meeting. Christy. Christine, the meeting is held annually, and it gives neighbors a chance to share their input, their ideas, and also their frustrations. Dark street lamps, copper thefts, and break-ins are just some of the concerns residents in Windsor Square brought to the annual town hall meeting at the Ebell Theater. People are still really concerned about crime. We have a whole issue of the availability of public crime statistics, which has been kind of... On hold, we haven't seen a lot of that information for about two and a half years now. Last year, the Windsor Square Association, who hosted the meeting, put out a critical alert over a spike in burglaries in the neighborhood whose borders are Arden and Van Ness, between Wilshire and Beverly Boulevards. LAPD officers at the meeting say in 2024, burglary rates were sky high, averaging three to four a week, but have dropped by about 50% in Windsor Square and neighboring areas. We've been doing a lot of task forces, a lot of extra patrols. A lot of dedicated resources have been deployed to that. And because of that, I believe, and with partnership with the community, we've seen a pretty significant dip in those numbers. Another concern, car break-ins and copper thieves. We even spotted their handiwork. You can't even see the street name because there's no street lights. You can imagine how hard it would be to spot thieves on a street when it's this dark. Last month, Mayor Karen Bass announced a plan to keep the lights on. Our goal remains clear. Keep our neighborhoods safe, so we're eliminating our street light repair backlog and installing solar lights. And another concern that came up tonight was the Super El Nino, which all of Los Angeles and the greater area is expected to see later on this season, and also preparing for that live outside the Ebell Theater. I'm Christy Fajardo, sending it back to you. All right, Christy, thank you. Commercial fire in Vernon has reignited more than a day after it began. Flames erupted again at a flooring warehouse near Alameda and 55th. About 100 firefighters are still battling the blaze. Another project! New tonight, the L.A. County Sheriff's Department releasing new body cam footage from a fatal deputy-involved shooting in Bellflower. On September 27th, deputies responding to a welfare check opened fire after a man pointed a gun at officers. Both the man and his mother died at the scene. An investigation is underway. At City Hall this morning, Nithya Raman attended her first council meeting since the election. Fox 11's Nick Garcia was there and shows us how council members interacted with the mayor-elect. The 44th mayor of the city of Los Angeles, Councilwoman Nithya Raman. A warm welcome to Nithya Raman at her first city council meeting since winning the mayoral election, as her fellow council members praised her victory. We know that everything you have done so far and everything you will do is to make Los Angeles better. And we're all here willing to work with you to do our best. I know that there will be areas where we align and there will be areas where we don't, but where we mutually agree. Is that this city is the greatest city in the world. As Raman prepares to usher in a new era at City Hall next month, she says the transition work has already begun. She says her first order of business will be to address homelessness. What we plan to do, and hopefully with the partnership of the council, is to ensure that we are tracking every dollar, filling every bed. And delivering the results that Angelenos deserve across every neighborhood, which is a visible and palpable reduction in the number of tents and encampments on their streets. Which could mean the end of Mayor Bass's flagship and highly criticized Inside Safe program. It may not be called Inside Safe anymore. It may not look exactly the way that that program looks, but encampment resolution will continue. Rahman says she will also tackle improving public transit and says she's committed to collaboration with her soon-to-be former colleagues. on the city council. The problems facing us are too big. The challenges ahead are too enormous for any of us to do this without one another and without that shared commitment. Nick Garcia, Fox 11 News. Also happening today in downtown L.A., the cost of challenging development projects in L.A. City could soon soar. The L.A. Times reports the city council voted unanimously to draft an ordinance that would increase appeal fees by up to 900 percent. It would send the current $229 fee soaring to nearly $2,300. Supporters say that increase would help prevent delays in housing projects, while critics say it could price residents out of having a voice. We'll be right back. Irvine police are issuing a warning tonight over a dangerous viral trend returning to social media. The door kick challenge, a prank police warn causes severe property damage. It could lead to tragic injuries. Tonight, LA Weather is sponsored by the law offices of Larry H. Parker. Alright, let's talk about the forecast. A lot happening over the next several days and I'm going to start with what's going on at the coast because extended into at least Monday of next week, we have a beach hazard statement because of elevated surf, meaning larger than normal waves and rip currents and minor flooding during the morning high tides and the elevated surf will become even a little more elevated as we head into our weekend. And this is because of storm systems in the Pacific. These swells will actually be coming from the northwest, so there'll be less of big waves for south facing parts of the We'll be right but high pressure is moving away And the first of several areas of low pressure coming in. And what this is going to do is start to bring our temperatures down and bring the opportunity for rain. The first chance will be early Friday morning. Let's zoom in a little bit more. So scattered showers early on Friday. And then a few showers still could linger over the course of the day on Friday. Then the next wave of rain, we can see it right here just after sunset on Friday off towards our west. That probably sweeps through our area late Friday night. So again, round one is going to be Friday, especially early in the day. And that's going to be more so scattered. Than widespread rain, meaning covering a lot more A lot more ground can be expected Friday night. We get a little break for most of the weekend. Another widespread round of rain is looking likely on Monday. So the rain chance a little bit higher Friday. If we had a Friday night bar in here, you'd see that at like 60% or so, down to 20% during the day Saturday. Nothing on Sunday. And more likely rain on Monday of next week. And it doesn't stop there. We've got more rain coming still, I'm thinking, into Wednesday, Thursday of next week. And all that is tied to cooler air on the way as well. Look at the high temperature forecast. Tomorrow is 80s, then 70s on Thursday, low 70s Friday through the weekend. Highs in the 60s for at least Monday and Tuesday of next week, and it might get even colder after that. For the coast, again, cooling down big time. There's 81, then 75, then 71 on Friday, and you see the numbers continuing to go down from there. In the valleys and the IE, we've got you well into the 80s tomorrow. 70s Thursday, around 70 for the high this weekend. And even here in the valleys and the IE, we have 60s for high temperatures next week. Kyle? Adam, thanks. Hi, everybody. Coming up, we've got a lot of sports lined up for you, including the latest college football playoff rankings. UCLA making it a historic leap. I'll explain. First, we've got your poll question of the night, and we've got the college football theme. Who would you rather have as head coach at your program? Lincoln Riley of USC or Bob Chesney of UCLA. You can go to foxla.com slash vote right now. Place your vote. We'll have the results and your sports highlights next. Fox 11 Sports Desk is sponsored by Pechanga Resort Casino. The latest college football playoff rankings dropping today. And after another one bit the dust on Saturday, there is a new number one atop the list with the Georgia Bulldogs taking that top spot. Utah and Alabama holding down the number two and three spots respectively. And Westwood is now the home to the number four team in the country, Bob Chesney and UCLA earning their highest CFP rankings in school history. So if the regular season ended today, UCLA would receive a first round playoff bye. On deck? A Friday night home game against Illinois at the Rose Bowl. A win would improve the Bruins to 10-0 and tie the program's single season wins record. They and Utah are the last two unbeaten teams in the nation. Meanwhile, Lincoln Riley and USC moved up to 18th in this week's top 25. The Trojans coming off a bye week with a big road test ahead of you. Bloomington, Indiana, on Saturday to face the ninth-ranked Indiana Hoosiers. Defending national champions have just one loss this season to Ohio State, who USC just beat at the Coliseum two weeks ago. A win for the Trojans would be a major step toward making the college football playoff for the first time in program history. This guy's been out for... We're excited about our experience. We're excited about the way that we've played up to this point and the different challenges that we've been in and we still find ourselves right in the middle of it. So, but it's this week isn't about the previous weeks. It's not gonna be about the upcoming weeks. It's like I keep saying to you guys, these are one week seasons and we gotta be at our very best here this week. Let's stay at USC, the third-ranked women of Troy hosting Charleston at the Gaylord Center tonight. And no surprise, this one, all Trojans. Up 10-4 here in the first quarter. Freshman Saniyah Hall pokes away the rock. Jazzy Davidson makes the breakaway layup to get the rebound. Bucket plus the foul for Davidson as she finished with 24 points. SC up 46-18 before the half. Juju Watkins getting the steal, and she'll do it all by herself. Juju scoring 20 in just 22 minutes of action as the Trojans handle business. 105-44 was the final there. On the NBA hardwood, after earning just their second win of the season Sunday night, Tonight, the Clippers back in action tonight out of the desert visiting the... The Suns, but this one, not a good showing for the Clips. The Suns letting it fly all night long, up by 14 at the end of the half. Colin Gillespie puts up the buzzer beater and gets it to fall. It caps a 9-0 run to end the half, so they would head to the locker room up by 17. And more of the same dominance in the third quarter. Phoenix up 83-56 now. Devin Booker knocking down that contested three-ball Suns. Go 22 of 43 from deep. They shoot 51% for three. Of course, that is hard to beat as the Clippers fall big. 133-110, the final. And finally, on the ice, Kings hosting the Predators tonight at the Crypt. Nashville up one zip in the second period, thanks to Filip Forsberg. And his night gets even better, sending that puck past Kings goalie Anton Forsberg. No relation for his second goal tonight. Preds would add another, and Kings will get shut out. Three zip. Ouch, it was the final there. Here are the results of our poll question. I asked you earlier, who would you rather have as your head coach of your program? We gave you two choices, and Lincoln Riley getting 67% of the vote. Thanks for playing along with our poll. We'll take a quick timeout here on Good Night LA, but we'll be back, so don't go anywhere.
