A police officer examines the damage caused by a car that crashed into a medical clinic Friday in south Los Angeles. Racing another vehicle through the streets of a business district at up to 90 mph, the car veered out of control and crashed through the front doors of the clinic, injuring 13 people, six of them critically, authorities said. Emergency workers rushed to treat the victims in a chaotic scene of gore, screams and shattered glass, with the car still inside the clinic. The driver, Ijumaa Owens, 33, of Los Angeles, was taken into custody and could face reckless driving charges, or vehicular manslaughter if anyone dies, police Lt. Paul Vernon said.
