At least two people were injured when the driver of a U-Haul truck allegedly drove into a large crowd of demonstrators during an anti-Iranian regime protest in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon. 

The rally was scheduled for 2 p.m. outside of the Wilshire Federal Building, where thousands of people gathered to show solidarity with the ongoing protests in Iran, which have resulted in more than 580 deaths in violence surrounding the demonstrations, according to U.S.-based activists. 

Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics said that two people were treated at the scene but denied transport to the hospital. Firefighters also said that they were working to find a third person who was also injured, but that the size of the crowd was delaying their response time.

Authorities have not yet reported any arrests in connection with the incident. 

By 4:30 p.m., a large amount of the demonstrators involved in the rally had already begun to leave the area. It was scheduled to end at 4 p.m., according to event organizers. 

SkyCal flew over the spot where the U-Haul came to a stop, which was surrounded by a large perimeter of crime scene tape. The trailer of the truck appeared to be empty as the door was open, with Los Angeles police investigators surveying the area. The windshield of the truck appeared to be shattered, and shards of glass were seen on the street below the vehicle.
