A motorist was injured Saturday morning when the sedan he was driving collided with another car and then crashed into the Los Angeles Times building in downtown L.A.

The 75-year-old driver suffered head injuries in the accident just after 8 a.m. at the intersection of 1st and Spring streets and was being treated by paramedics.

He told bystanders that he had a history of strokes and the accident was “my fault.” The driver was traveling east on 1st Street when he ran a red light and collided with a car going south on Spring, according to the driver of the second vehicle. The sedan then drove over the curb and into the Times building.
