One woman was killed and a young girl was among five people injured when a minivan jumped a street corner in downtown Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon and drove onto a sidewalk outside a homeless mission, authorities said.

Several of the injured pedestrians were pinned under the van that had collided with another car at around 4:44 p.m. at Los Angeles and 4th streets, said LAPD Sgt. Roy Ballesteros.

A woman in her 30s died shortly after being transported to County-USC Medical Center. Her 10-year-old daughter was in critical condition. The other injuries were minor.
