Since I was still up (unlike the misleading title of this blog suggests), I decided to quick grab my camera and head down to the corner of the street to see if I could see anything. When I came to the street corner, I found a car on fire, with another car upside down next to it. The cars had crashed into some other (parked) cars that were on the side of the road.
I called 9-1-1 and noticed that everyone from the 2 cars were okay and conscious. They came out, and I helped one of them over to the side of the road who was having a hard time walking. On the sidewalk, I stayed with them until help arrived...which was about 12 minutes later (thank you LAPD). One was having a hard time breathing, one was in pain, and the other had a difficult time walking.
Once professional help arrived, they thanked me for my help and asked why I had the camera. When I explained I was a freelance photographer (that was also Red Cross Certified for Disaster Relief), the officer chuckled and invited me to roam and get whatever interesting pics/video I wanted.
Here's a few shots:
