The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department relayed that the crash involved a dark SUV and occurred at 7:12 a.m. PST on the northbound side of Hawthorne Boulevard near Blackhorse Road, per Fox Los Angeles. After being removed from the severely damaged vehicle, Woods was taken to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance.
