A person was pronounced dead on arrival and four others were transported to the hospital following a vehicle collision on the southbound Highway 14 transition to the southbound Interstate 5 early Sunday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.
“It was originally reported at 2:16 a.m.,” CHP Officer Elizabeth Kravig said, adding that officers arrived on the scene at 2:30 a.m. “Multiple vehicles originally reported. I don’t have confirmation on how many total were involved. The southbound 14 transition to the southbound 5 was closed around 2:36 a.m., and the SIGAlert was just cancelled at 8:43 a.m.”
The L.A. County Fire Department also responded to the incident, dispatching at 2:19 a.m. and arriving at the scene of the crash four minutes later.
“I have two critical [injuries], one DOA, and two minor [injuries], as well,” said Supervisor Melanie Flores. “The initial report was a solo vehicle into the center divider.”
