AT LEAST three people have died after a car collided with a cyclist and smashed into a supermarket in Los Angeles.
Some of the victims were trapped underneath the car as it ploughed into the 99 Ranch Market on Thursday with six others left injured.
An elderly woman in her 70s was behind the wheel of the silver Toyota Prius in the Westwood area when she lost control of the car, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) confirmed.
Police Lieutenant Anthony Espinoza said they believe the driver lost control after hitting a cyclist.
The cat then swerved towards the 99 Ranch Market and crashed through the bakery section of the store.
Three people were pronounced dead at the scene with four others rushed to hospital including two in a serious condition, LAFD Captain Erik Scott said.
The other two injured were treated at the scene and walked away with only minor wounds.
