Los Angeles, CA (July 9, 2025) — A late-night crash near Los Angeles International Airport has left four children injured, one of them seriously, and police are now searching for the mother who allegedly fled the scene. The crash occurred around 2 a.m. on July 9, 2025, near the 9600 block of Sepulveda Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

According to reports, the vehicle, carrying four children and two adults, struck a center barrier near LAX before the driver fled on foot. Police say the mother gathered the children and left the crash scene, eventually taking them to a second location at 1400 East 59th Place. Emergency crews later responded to that address and transported the children to area hospitals. One child was reported to have serious injuries while the other three suffered injuries that were not life-threatening. One of the adults in the vehicle was also hospitalized.

The LAPD is continuing to investigate the events that led up to the crash, including the cause of the collision and why the driver fled with the children rather than waiting for help. Detectives are urging anyone with information about the mother’s whereabouts to come forward as the search continues.
