LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- One person was arrested Thursday after they allegedly fled the scene of a crash that killed three people, including one who police are calling a "high-profile person," according to CNN affiliate KTLA.
The person's identity was not immediately available.
Police said a minivan barreled down a street in Fullerton, California, just south of Los Angeles, and slammed into a silver Mitsubishi about 12:20 a.m. Thursday, the affiliate reported. The silver car then struck a third vehicle before striking a power pole, KTLA said.
Footage from the scene showed the minivan with a smashed front end and the Mitsubishi, which was heavily damaged. Debris littered the intersection where the crash took place, and it was cordoned off with yellow police tape.

Nick Adenhart, Angels pitcher, killed in Fullerton crash
Angels' pitcher Nick Adenhart was among the three killed in a crash in Fullerton
when a driver ran a red light, an associate of the rookie player said this morning.
The crash occurred only hours after the 22-year-old appeared in Wednesday
night's Angels game.
The accident occurred shortly after midnight at the intersection of Orangethorpe
Avenue and Lemon Street in Fullerton, said Lt. Craig Brower of the Fullerton
Police Department.
Several witnesses told police the driver of a red minivan ran a red light at the
intersection, hitting a silver Mitsubishi carrying four passengers. Two people in
the Mitsubishi were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, authorities
said. Two others also in the Mitsubishi were taken to a nearby hospital, where
one was later pronounced dead, Brower said.
The driver of the minivan fled on foot, but police found him about a mile away
and took him into custody on suspicion of hit-and-run, Brower said. Further
charges are pending as the investigation continues, he said.
A passenger in the minivan was taken to Western Medical Center, authorities
said. The condition of that person was unknown. A third vehicle also was struck,
but there were no reports that anyone inside was hurt. Authorities said the
intersection will be closed at least until noon as the investigation continues.
