Around midnight, a vehicle was heading east on Roscoe Boulevard when the driver apparently ran a red light and struck a vehicle at the intersection at Woodley Avenue, according to Officer Norma Eisenman, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department. The driver then continued east before colliding with another vehicle that subsequently hit a third vehicle and a Los Angeles City Fire Department fire truck.

A 76-year-old woman in the second vehicle that was struck was taken to a hospital, where she died from her injuries. Her identity was not immediately available pending notification of family.

No firefighters were injured in the crash.
