(KTLA) A vehicle allegedly plowed into a crowd near SoFi Stadium and the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, on Saturday night, injuring at least six pedestrians, according to officials.

Six people were found with minor injuries and taken to area hospitals, the Los Angeles County Fire Department told affiliate KTLA. The incident happened shortly before 10:30 p.m.

In an update provided around midnight, L.A. County Fire said the total number of patients was six. However, the Inglewood Police Department said it is still working to confirm the total number of people injured.

KTLA reported that witnesses said one of the individuals injured may have been a 14-year-old boy, but authorities have not confirmed the ages of the victims. In addition, footage from Sky5 showed a large paramedic and law enforcement response at the scene, with multiple firetrucks blocking off traffic as investigators responded to the area.

L.A. County Fire said it is unclear how the crash occurred, and could not immediately provide details on the driver or vehicle involved. However, footage from Citizen.com showed a sedan with severe front-end damage, and investigators setting up a perimeter and a canvas next to the debris from the crash.

Mayor James Butts, Jr., told local reporters that the driver allegedly told authorities thaty he had fallen asleep behind the wheel. He was also taken to the hospital.

The crash took place just as fans were leaving the CONCACAF Gold Cup match between Mexico and the Dominican Republic at SoFi.

The match at SoFi Stadium drew 54,309, the Associated Press reported.
