It appears the driver hit a bicyclist and then “unintentionally lost control” of her Toyota Prius, which continued before crashing into the market, LAPD Capt. Anthony Espinoza said during a press briefing.
The driver — a woman who’s about 70 years old — is being evaluated by medical professionals and is speaking with officers, officials said.
