A man was killed Saturday in a multi-vehicle crash on the San Diego (405) Freeway in North Hills, authorities said.
The crash occurred a little after 10:10 a.m. on the northbound freeway at the Nordhoff Street off-ramp and involved a semi-truck as well as possibly three other vehicles, the California Highway Patrol reported.
Paramedics dispatched to the location at 10:58 a.m. reported that the victim was pronounced dead at the scene and another person at the location declined transport to a hospital, said Margaret Stewart of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
“Traffic will be impacted for the investigation,” Stewart said.
The victim was described as a man, approximately 50 years old, the CHP said.
A Sigalert was issued at 10:25 a.m. for lane closures, expected to affect the No. 1 and carpool lanes. At 10:43 a.m., the Sigalert was revised to include the closure of the Roscoe Boulevard off-ramp to the northbound 405 Freeway.
A representative from the Los Angeles County coroner’s office was called to the location at 11:08 a.m.
