A person was killed when a vehicle crashed into a light pole and burst into flames on a highway in Industry Wednesday morning authorities said.
The crash on Crossroads Parkway North, just north of the Pomona (60) Freeway, took place about 2:15 a.m., said California Highway Patrol Officer Francisco Villalobos and sheriff’s Sgt. Christopher Sciacca.
“The vehicle slammed into the light pole and then burst into flames,” Sciacca said. “There is no word yet as to whether the victim was male or female.”
The crash involved just one vehicle, Sciacca added.
Los Angeles County firefighters were called to the scene to put out the flames, according to the CHP. One person was pronounced dead at the scene, the fire department reported.
The investigation into the crash will be handled by the sheriff’s Industry station, Sciacca said.
