STUDIO CITY, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A 15-year-old teen has died after being pinned between two cars during a crash at a private K-12 school in Studio City Wednesday afternoon, LAPD said.

The incident happened shortly after 3:00 p.m. Wednesday in the carpool line of the Campbell Hall School parking lot, located at 4533 Laurel Canyon Boulevard, according to school officials.

The school said that two students were involved.

"Our Health Center team responded immediately to care for the students on site," Head of the School Rev. Canon Julian P. Bull said in a statement. "We are holding these students and everyone involved in our hearts and prayers."

One of the students was taken to an area hospital by paramedics in grave condition, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The Los Angeles Police Department later confirmed that the student died from his injuries at the hospital.

The 15-year-old was walking between cars and was pinned between two vehicles, LAPD said. The impact caused a chain-reaction crash.

Police say other students were getting in the car at the time of the crash and suffered minor injuries.

LAFD said that two other teens and three adults came forward to be treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries.

The Mayor's Crisis Response Team responded to the scene to offer emotional support and recovery assistance to relatives and witnesses at the scene, according to LAFD.

Campbell Hall School also said they are making counselors and chaplains available to anyone who would like to speak to one.

Video of the scene from AIR7 showed a canopy and tarp covering a space between two damaged vehicles.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash. The driver who struck the teen will not be cited, according to LAPD. Police described the incident as an accident.

No further details were immediately known.
