One person was killed Sunday morning in a crash in Newhall.
The wreck occurred at about 2 a.m. on the northbound Golden State (5) Freeway at Weldon Canyon Road, California Highway Patrol Officer Sergio Garcia told City News Service.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, Garcia said. He was later identified as Clay Rodriguez, 34, according to the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s website, which does not list a city of residence.
A news videographer at the scene said a vehicle was crushed between a big rig and another vehicle. Video showed the front of a sedan under the big rig’s trailer and a pickup truck behind it. The covered body of the victim lay next to the sedan.
The CHP issued a Sigalert at 2:16 a.m. for all but the fast lane of the northbound freeway at Weldon Canyon Road.
The crash occurred just after another crash at 1:54 a.m., just north of the fatal accident. A vehicle rolled over a K-rail in a construction zone and paramedics were called to see if the driver had any injuries, according to the CHP.
