Los Angeles, CA (August 20, 2025) – Two teenage boys suffered injuries early Tuesday morning in a traffic incident involving a white SUV on North Front St in Los Angeles.
According to LAPD South Bureau dispatch, the crash occurred at approximately 1:42 a.m. near Pacific Ave and North Front St. Emergency personnel responded to the scene, where both teens were found conscious and breathing, but suffering from head and abdominal injuries. An ambulance was requested to transport the victims for medical treatment.
The white SUV involved was located at the scene, and officers initiated traffic control in the surrounding area, blocking sections of Front St and Pacific Ave to secure the area for first responders and medical crews. It remains unclear whether the teens were occupants of the vehicle or pedestrians struck during the incident.
No further information about the driver or other individuals involved has been released, and authorities are continuing their investigation into the cause of the crash.
Our thoughts are with the two young victims and their families, and we hope for a swift and full recovery.
Teen Injury Collisions in Los Angeles
Crashes involving teens—especially those occurring in the early morning hours—are particularly troubling due to the vulnerability of young individuals and the potential for long-term consequences. The incident on North Front St reflects the kind of late-night or early-morning activity that can result in serious harm when visibility is low and traffic conditions are less predictable.
Head and abdominal trauma, like those suffered by the 17-year-olds in Tuesday’s crash, often require prolonged recovery, even when victims remain conscious and stable at the scene. Internal injuries may not be immediately visible, and brain injuries in teens can have lasting effects if not treated with urgency and care.
The circumstances surrounding the involvement of the SUV—whether the teens were inside the vehicle, struck while crossing, or standing nearby—will be key in determining both cause and responsibility. In urban areas like this stretch of North Front St, high-speed corridors and limited lighting can increase risk for pedestrians and drivers alike.
Families impacted by such traumatic events often face both emotional and logistical challenges, including navigating hospital stays, legal matters, school absences, and financial burdens tied to medical care.
If your loved one was injured in a crash involving a young person, it’s critical to secure support and understand the resources available to aid recovery and protect your rights.
