Dump Truck Crash Cancels Whisky a Go Go Concert

On Friday afternoon, a dump truck carrying dirt lost control and crashed into the Whisky a Go Go music venue on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, striking multiple vehicles, a power pole, and the building itself. The crash occurred between 1:45 and 3:00 p.m., causing significant power outages for hundreds of customers and prompting closure of nearby streets as crews responded. No major injuries were reported, with a postal worker narrowly escaping harm by jumping from his vehicle. Brake failure is suspected as a possible cause, and authorities are now assessing the 102-year-old venue's structural integrity. The scheduled Boy Hits Car concert was canceled, with ticket holders offered refunds and the band planning to reschedule. Whisky a Go Go, known for hosting legendary acts, remains a key part of Los Angeles' music scene.
