Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel also responded to the “motorcycle down,” with an ambulance dispatched to the scene, according to spokesman Henry Narvaez.
At least one person was killed as a result of the incident, SCV Sheriff’s Station spokeswoman Deputy Natalie Arriaga confirmed.
SCV Sheriff’s Station officials advised the public to avoid the area as deputies conducted an investigation, with lanes in both directions reportedly set to be closed for an undetermined amount of time.
