Los Angeles : VAN ACCIDENT IN LOS ANGELES: At least 8 people were injured on a Los Angeles street after a van plowed into a group of people dining on a sidewalk on Sunday afternoon.

"The van jumped a curb and careened into a group of people eating outside The Fish Spot restaurant in the city's Mid-Wilshire neighbourhood," a witness told news agency Associated Press.

"Everyone was eating, enjoying life and out of nowhere this van ran them over," Courtney Crump said.

The crowd pulled out injured people in the accident and held the driver into custody till the authorities came at the accident spot.

The cause of the accident is still not known.

Authorities have ruled out possibilities of a terrorist attack and have claimed that it appears to be a clear case of an unintentional accident.
