A man in his 20s was killed Thursday when the sedan he was driving crashed into the center divider of the HOV lane that connects the northbound Orange (57) Freeway to the eastbound Pomona (60) Freeway in Diamond Bar.
The crash was reported at 4:11 a.m. Thursday, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office identified the victim as Darryl Bailey, 26, whose place of residence was not disclosed.
A witness reported they could see flames underneath a blue Honda Civic that had major front end damage, the CHP said.
Bailey was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the medical examiner’s office.
The CHP issued a Sigalert at 4:44 a.m. shutting down the HOV flyover from the northbound Orange Freeway to the eastbound 60 Freeway and the far left general purpose lane.
Caltrans was called to the scene for emergency guardrail repairs that continued after noon Thursday.
