Driver Crashes into Inglewood CarMax, Injuring Eight [Los Angeles, CA]

Los Angeles, CA (Mar 10th, 2025)- Driver Crashes into Inglewood CarMax on Saturday afternoon, leaving eight people injured, including both employees and customers. The shocking incident unfolded at the dealership on the 8600 block of South La Cienega Boulevard, prompting an immediate response from law enforcement and emergency medical teams.

Details of the Crash

Authorities received reports of the crash just after 2 p.m. According to the Inglewood Police Department, the suspect, later identified as 25-year-old Andrew Arroyo, had been involved in a dispute inside the dealership before exiting the building. Moments later, he deliberately drove his vehicle into the CarMax showroom, striking multiple people in the process.

Emergency responders confirmed that eight individuals sustained injuries. While six suffered minor injuries, two were critically wounded and required urgent medical attention. Among the injured were two CarMax employees who were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Following the crash, Arroyo fled the scene but later turned himself in at the LAPD Academy. Authorities disclosed that he was on probation at the time of his arrest for a 2024 conviction related to a “wet reckless” charge—a lesser offense often associated with DUI cases. Given the circumstances, police are treating this crash as an intentional act and continue their investigation.

Legal Options and Compensation for the Victims

Victims of this devastating incident may be entitled to financial compensation for their injuries, medical expenses, and other damages. Since the crash appears to have been intentional, potential claims could include:

• Medical Expenses: Coverage for hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future medical treatments related to the injuries.
• Lost Wages: Compensation for any time missed from work due to injury recovery.
• Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and trauma caused by the incident.
• Property Damage: If any vehicles were damaged in the crash, victims may be entitled to compensation for repairs or replacement.
• Punitive Damages: In cases of intentional harm, courts may award additional punitive damages to hold the responsible party accountable.

Given the complexities of liability in an intentional crash, victims must seek legal assistance to ensure they receive the compensation they deserve.
