Five Los Angeles County Sheriff's recruits who were struck by a wrong-way SUV driver during a training run in Whittier remained hospitalized Thursday in critical condition. The sheriff described their injuries as life-changing.
"I thought there was an earthquake because there was this loud shaking," Periman said.
"They had zero warning," said Capt. Pat MacDonald, whose bureau oversees the academy."Thank God for that light pole because the vehicle ultimately hit it and stopped, as opposed to possibly hitting more recruits." Video taken by witness to the aftermath Francisco Silva showed cadets trying to help injured cadets on the ground. He said he was awoken by screams and looked out his window to see the chaos.
The recruits were running with eight road guards who wear reflective high-visibility vests. Drill instructors and safety vehicles accompanied recruits on the run, according to the sheriff's department.
