One person was extricated and transported to the hospital in unknown condition on Thursday following a crash in Valencia, according to officials.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to an expanded traffic collision near the intersection of McBean Parkway and Valencia Boulevard at approximately 12:08 p.m., said Geovanni Sanchez, a spokesman for the Fire Department. They were on the scene moments later.
One person was extricated from a white van that was seen lying on its side along McBean Parkway facing the opposite side of traffic, according to Sanchez and observations from the scene. The van’s front windshield and part of its roof also appeared to be cut off.
Deputies with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station also responded to the reports of a multivehicle crash, said Deputy Lucas Barr, a spokesman with the station during initial reports.
The driver of the white van ran a red light and clipped the bumper of another vehicle, before the driver lost control, leading to a rollover crash, said Sgt. Anthony Levin with the SCV Sheriff’s Station in a follow-up phone call with The Signal.
The driver of the van was transported to the hospital via ambulance in unknown condition, according to Sanchez.
Driving under the influence is not a suspected factor in the crash, and it was ruled an accident, Levin added.
