Truck Crashes Into Hollywood Pizzeria; Building Closed Due To Damage

HOLLYWOOD, CA — At least one person was hospitalized after a three-vehicle collision that involved a pickup truck crashing into a pizzeria at Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue Tuesday night, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The restaurant, Raffallo's Pizza, has been temporarily closed to repair the damage, its management said. The LAFD said it's likely the crash compromised the structural integrity of the restaurant, which is located in a strip mall.

The crash was reported just after 9 p.m. A 32-year-old man was transported to a local hospital, according to the LAFD.

The Fire Department's Urban Search and Rescue team and the city Department of Building and Safety responded to the incident to evaluate and stabilize the building as necessary and make a determination about the building's fit for occupancy, firefighters said.

Surveillance footage aired on NBC 4 showed the pickup truck striking two vehicles in the Hollywood and La Brea intersection before crashing into Raffallo's.
