U-Haul truck driven into crowd at Los Angeles anti-Iranian regime protest
The driver was detained after the U-Haul truck struck protesters during a rally supporting Iranians amid a crackdown that has killed over 580 people, activists said.
- On Sunday, January 11, 2026, a U-Haul truck drove into protesters in Westwood near the Wilshire Federal Building and was stopped several blocks away by LAPD.
- HRANA reported a rising death toll tied to nationwide unrest in Iran, with at least 583 killed; a Jan. 8 government-imposed internet blackout has limited communications, impeding information flow.
- Video shows the truck forcing its way through the crowd, with demonstrators striking it, chasing it and pulling the driver from inside.
- Shortly before 5 p.m., the LAFD reported two people evaluated and declined treatment, while police issued a dispersal order and closed the 405 ramp on Wilshire.
- The U-Haul bore slogans alluding to Iran's 1953 coup, including `No Shah` and `Don't Repeat 1953`; authorities have not identified the driver or motive, a bomb squad was requested and the trailer appeared empty.
