LOS ANGELES — Three people were killed and six others were injured on Thursday when a vehicle crashed into a grocery store after colliding with a bicyclist in a Los Angeles neighborhood, authorities said.

The crash occurred at about 12:11 p.m. PT in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Officials said the motorist hit a bicyclist and then continued down the street before crashing into the bakery section of a 99 Ranch Market, KABC reported.

Some of the victims were trapped underneath the vehicle, spokesperson Lyndsey Lantz told the television station.

Two of the injured people were in serious condition and two others suffered minor injuries, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Capt. Erik Scott told KNBC.

The bicyclist and the driver declined offers to be taken to the hospital, the fire department said, according to The Associated Press.
