Los Angeles Searching for Driver of Truck that Crashed into Restaurant

Early this morning, a pickup truck crashed into a restaurant located in a strip mall in Compton. Both the truck and the restaurant caught fire from the accident and the driver fled the scene.

The accident occurred around 2:45 a.m. at El Infierno Restaurant at the intersection of Santa Fe Ave and Pine Street. Thankfully no one was injured in the crash or the fire, but law enforcement is searching for the driver.

Authorities believe that this was an arson attack based on a previous event. This makes finding the driver even more important as he must face criminal charges because this was not simply an accident.

If anyone has any information, please contact the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department’s Compton Station.
