A man was ejected from his car and killed after he crashed into the concrete center divider on the westbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway in West Covina, authorities said Thursday.
The crash occurred about 11 p.m. Wednesday near the Sunset Avenue exit when the man driving a 2007 Honda Civic in an unknown lane at an unknown speed veered left and collided with the wall, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The force of the crash caused the Honda to overturn onto its roof and the man to be ejected, the CHP said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The overturned vehicle blocked the No. 1 and 2 lanes of the freeway.
About a minute later, a woman driving a 2015 Nissan Sentra in the No. 1 lane collided with the overturned Honda. She suffered minor injuries, the CHP said.
Three westbound lanes of the freeway were closed for about two-and-a-half hours for the investigation into the crash.
Alcohol is not suspected to have been a factor in the accident, according to the CHP.
