A man remained in custody after plowing through the showroom of a CarMax dealership Saturday, injuring two employees and six customers. Camilla Rambaldi reports for the NBC4 News at 11 p.m. on March 9, 2025.
Several employees and customers at a CarMax were injured Saturday after a driver rammed into the dealership in Inglewood.
Authorities responded to the call of the crash just after 2 p.m. at the car dealer located at the 8600 block of south La Cienega Boulevard.
A customer exited the building following a dispute and intentionally drove into the CarMax, according to Inglewood police.
Eight people were injured in the crash. Six of those injuries were minor and the other two were critical, according to authorities.
Two of the people injured were CarMax employees, the dealer confirms. They were treated at the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver fled the crash and drove to the LAPD Academy nearby, where he turned himself in. He was identified as 25-year-old Andrew Arroyo. The driver was on probation at the time of his arrest for a "wet reckless" charge in 2024.
The crash is being investigated as an intentional act, according to Inglewood police.
