“Chaos on Santa Monica Blvd: 30 Injured and Drama Ensues at Vermont Hollywood!”

Get this — just after 2 AM on Saturday, partygoers vibing at The Vermont Hollywood nightclub on Santa Monica Boulevard got served a cold, hard dose of reality. Instead of sipping cocktails or enjoying the reggae/hip‑hop mashup, they got side-swiped literally, as a rogue driver barreled into the crowd waiting outside 😱  .

This wasn’t a gentle nudge — authorities say around 30 people were hurt, with a jaw-dropping seven in critical condition and six others severely injured. And that’s not even counting the 10 in fair shape or the brave few who waved off an ambulance 🤕  .

Videos from the scene are chilling: a silver sedan smashed into a taco truck and valet stand, debris everywhere, with bodies splayed out on the sidewalk. First responders and club staff rushed to help — no filter for that terror-stricken hustle  .

But hold up — the drama’s not over. Allegedly, a bystander pulled a silver revolver, pumping at least two shots into the driver’s door. That driver? Currently in surgery with a serious gunshot wound 😳  . Meanwhile, cops haven’t pinned down whether shots rang out before or after the crash—so the motive still smells like mystery meat.

The LAPD is digging deep, and investigations are underway. But one thing’s for sure: this nightlife rendezvous turned into a bullet-ridden, car-crash spectacle no one could’ve predicted.
