  • Fatal crash shut freeway down for hours
    A truck cab is on it's side next to a damaged car on a closed freeway.
    An accident late Saturday on the 110 Freeway killed one driver and left two others with minor industries. The tanker truck spill has shut the freeway down for hours.

    Topline:

    One person was killed and two others injured when a truck rolled over following a multicar crash on the 110 Freeway on Saturday night. Northbound lanes between Manchester Avenue and the 105 were closed for an investigation and cleanup. The freeway has now been reopened.

    What we know: The multi-car crash was reported at 10:55 p.m. on Saturday night, which led a tanker truck to flip on its side. The truck was carrying an estimated 8,000 gallons of aviation fuel, and fire officials said that between 500 and 1,000 gallons were spilled onto the road.

    One person was pronounced dead at the scene. The two individuals hurt in the crash suffered minor injuries. According to fire officials, the driver of the tanker truck was taken to the hospital by a private vehicle and had no contact with the L.A. Fire Department.
