A 9-year-old girl is in critical condition after a vehicle crashed into a terminal at Los Angeles Airport Sunday. Two other people, a driver and a passenger, suffered nonlife-threatening injuries in the incident, the LA City Fire Department said.

A sports sedan smashed through the wall of utility room above the stairwell at Terminal 7 shortly before 5 p.m. PDT, fire department spokesman Brian Humphrey said on Twitter. A video posted on the department's Instagram account showed the front of the dark gray car stuck in the stucco wall, its taillights flashing.

The girl, who was a pedestrian, has been transported to a regional trauma center; the two others were also hospitalized.

Fire department crews towed the vehicle involved in the crash at 700 World Way shortly after 6 p.m., KCBS, Los Angeles, reported. Airport police were on the scene. An investigation into the accident is reported ongoing.
