Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Na te ruu nui o te 3.1 i kaha ai te wiri ki te rohe nui o Los Angeles. I kii te US Geological Survey i roto i tetahi purongo tuatahi ko te ruu me te hohonu e rima maero te hohonu i tupu i mua o te 9pm inanahi, e ai ki te Associated Press. I tata ki te whā maero te tawhiti ki te raki o San Fernando e tata ana ki Interstate 210. I tata ki te whā maero te pū o te ruu ki te raki o San Fernando e tata ana ki Interstate 210, e ai ki te US Geological Survey. Na te ruu i 'raru kaha' ai te raorao o San Fernando (i te pikitia) ki te raki o Los Angeles. I tino kaha te wiri ki te raorao o San Fernando me etahi waahanga o te raki o Los Angeles County. Kāore he pūrongo mō te kino, mō te whara rānei, ā, e kī ana ngā tari pirihimana me ngā tari ahi kāore he raruraru i pūrongotia. E toru nga ra i muri mai i te ruu nui 3.5 i pa ki te taha uru o Los Angeles o Baldwin Hills. I puta i te 9.17pm, ā, i rangona puta noa i te taone nui. I whakaahuatia e ngā kainoho i runga i ngā pāpāho pāpori he 'whakaru tere'. I te tīmatanga o te rā i te 4.35pm i pā mai tētahi ruu iti ake o te 2.5 i te rohe kotahi. I pūrongotia i te tīmatanga he 2.9 te kaha o taua ruu, engari i whakaitihia i muri mai e te US Geological Survey. Kāore he pūrongo mō ngā whara, mō ngā tūkino rānei mai i tētahi o ngā tūtukitanga. Kua whakamahia e Los Angelenos ki aua wiri iti, nā te tūnga o te taone i runga i ngā rārangi hapa maha.
E ai ki te US Geological Survey, ko te ruu i mua noa atu i te 9 i te pō e rima maero te hohonu. E whā maero ki te raki o San Fernando e tata ana ki Interstate 210. I rangona te wiri puta noa i San Fernando Valley me ētahi wāhanga o Los Angeles County.
