PICO RIVERA >> Four people suffered injuries when a truck careened into an apartment building in Pico Rivera Wednesday afternoon, officials said.
The crash was first reported just before 4 p.m. along Rosemead Boulevard, near Bradhurst Street, Los Angeles County Fire Department Dispatch Supervisor Al Jackson said.
Paramedics treated four patients, he said.
The injuries appeared minor, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Noe Garcia said. Those hurt were all inside the vehicle, he added. No one in the apartment building was injured.
Ariel news footage showed a black truck embedded in the corner of a beige, two-story apartment building.
An Urban Search and Rescue Team was summoned to the scene to inspect and shore up the damaged structure ahead of an inspection by health and safety officials, Jackson said.
The cause remained under investigation, Garcia said. The driver told investigators the truck had experienced brake problems.
There were no overt signs of intoxicated driving.
