A driver plowed into a group of law enforcement recruits while they were out for a training run early Wednesday in Southern California. Authorities said 25 people were injured in the crash, including the driver, and that five recruits were in critical condition.
The driver — identified as a 22-year-old man from Diamond Bar, California — was going the wrong way on the road, hitting a recruit class that was running in formation, officials said Wednesday at a press conference.
The driver passed a field sobriety test and "blew a 0.0 on a breathalyzer," according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva.
"So, the cause of the accident, motive, anything, is unknown at this time," he said.
Paramedics set up a triage area at the scene and transported the injured to seven hospitals for treatment.
