One person died and two others were ejected out of a vehicle in a rollover crash this morning in Elysian Park.
The crash occurred shortly after 8 a.m. on the 800 block of Academy Road, near Dodger Stadium, according to NBC Los Angeles. KABC reported earlier this morning that the LAPD and LAFD were working to get two men out of a ravine near the crash site. One person died at the scene, and the two who were ejected out of the vehicle suffered unknown injuries.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash.
