Here are a series photographs from 1952 of a crane lifting something onto the Ritchfield Building.
I find them interesting. You get a glimpse of the surrounding area as well.
I'm going to say USC Digital Archive, but I'm not certain.

I found them in the same group as the photos above.

After researching a bit, I believe the 3300 S. block of Flower Street (as seen in the first accident photo) puts the car crash down by Jefferson Blvd.
