1 hospitalized after car slams into Burbank Airport

A driver was hospitalized in critical condition after a car possibly carrying fireworks slammed into the Burbank Airport late Monday evening.

Firefighters rushed to the 2600 block of N. Hollywood Way after learning of a car that had slammed into a K-rail outside of the airport, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The car was on fire, Burbank police said, although it's unclear if there were actually fireworks in the car.

Circumstances surrounding the crash remain unclear, but SkyCal was overhead as one person was taken away from the car on a gurney and loaded into the back of an ambulance.

Firefighters could be seen as they doused the car, which was heavily damaged and showing signs of having been on fire.
