Driver Charged With 37 Counts Of Attempted Murder

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles prosecutors have announced charges in connection with a car crash outside a nightclub over the weekend that injured 37 people and led to the driver being shot. LA County District Attorney Nathan Hochman on Tuesday charged the driver, who was identified as 29-year-old Fernando Ramirez. Partygoers were leaving the Vermont Hollywood venue at the end of a reggae hip-hop event early Saturday when a vehicle rammed into the crowd. Injuries ranged from minor to serious fractures and lacerations, and some people were briefly trapped beneath the vehicle. A phone number for Ramirez could not be found and the public defender’s office said that they are not representing him.
