A six car collision at Newhall Avenue and Valle Del Oro resulted in at least nine people being transported to a local hospital, according to officials with the Santa Clarita Valley sheriff’s station.

“One went with paramedics,” said an official with the Los Angeles County Fire Department, adding that others may have been transported by ambulance.

The collision occurred shortly after 3:30 p.m., said Lt. Brenda Cambra with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s station.

“The crash originally started as a read-end collision,” said Cambra. “There were six cars involved.”

One of the patients transported also suffered some sort of ailment near the time of the crash.

“One patient had an unrelated medical issue,” said Cambra.

Cambra did not believe the medical issue was the cause of the crash, and that it occurred after the collision. Nine people were taken for evaluation of what she called “minor injuries.”

Deputies with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station were first on scene, and called for other emergency personnel when at least one patient had to be transported.
