WeHo intersection closed as sheriff deputy 2-vehicle collision is investigated
A major West Hollywood intersection was closed for hours early Tuesday morning as a Los Angeles County sheriff deputy-involved collision was investigated.
The crash happened around 5 a.m. and as SkyCal flew overhead around 9 a.m., a sheriff's department SUV was disabled in the middle of the Santa Monica and San Vicente boulevards intersection. The other vehicle involved was pushed off to the edge of the intersection, nearly resting on the sidewalk, with visible front-end damage.
A representative with the West Hollywood Sheriff's Station said the deputy and other person involved in the collision were both transported to a hospital, with preliminary reports saying the injuries were not severe.
No crimes were committed in the crash, according to the department.
Around 9:45 a.m., the investigation concluded and the intersection opened to traffic.
