A driver is in custody after they drove into a bookstore just outside of Los Angeles International Airport early Friday morning, according to authorities.
The Los Angeles Police Department said officers were dispatched to the area of Sepulveda and La Tijera in Westchester at about 1:11 a.m. after a report of a vehicle crashing into a building and catching fire.
Upon arrival, officers found the vehicle and its driver, who crashed the car into The Book Jewel, located on West 87th Street.
No injuries were reported.
The driver was taken into custody. Police believe the driver may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but it’s not yet confirmed if an arrest was made.
The building was damaged. Video captured by KTLA showed the glass of the front door shattered with tables and bookshelves destroyed.
Meanwhile, video captured and posted to The Citizen App showed a sedan on fire in the intersection of Sepulveda and La Tijera. It’s not yet clear if the driver attempted to flee the scene in the damaged vehicle before it caught fire.
No additional details were immediately made available.
