Officials said three vehicles were involved in the crash that occurred just before 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday night on the Boulevard at C Street.

According to officials, the incident happened after a vehicle ran a red light at C Street, causing a vehicle that was traveling northbound on Roosevelt Boulevard to strike the rear side of the vehicle that ran the light.

The impact, police said, caused the car that ran the light to continue into two parked vehicles -- that were unattended -- before the vehicle hit a concrete wall.

At least three people suffered serious injuries in the crash and one of the victims -- who was trapped in a car before being pulled out -- is in extremely critical condition, officials said.
