A woman was killed and two people were hospitalized after a multi-vehicle collision that left a Honda Civic on its roof Saturday on the Pomona (60) Freeway.
Officers from the California Highway Patrol responded at 3:07 a.m. to the eastbound freeway at South Lemon Avenue, east of Fairway Drive, where they found a black Tesla and the overturned Honda blocking the middle lanes of the freeway, CHP Officer Erik Larsen told City News Service.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. A representative from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office was called to the location at 4:05 a.m.
Firefighters and paramedics dispatched to the scene at 3:09 a.m. rushed two people to a hospital, according to a Los Angeles County Fire Department dispatcher. Their conditions were not known.
The CHP issued a SigAlert at 3:24 a.m. for the closure of all lanes of the eastbound freeway for several hours while officers investigate the cause of the collision and traffic was diverted to Fairway, Larsen said.
