One person was killed Thursday when a big rig and pickup collided on the Moreno Valley (60) Freeway in Riverside.

The crash was reported at 4:52 a.m. Thursday on the eastbound Moreno Valley Freeway west of Main Street, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Witnesses told the CHP a Toyota Tacoma was overturned onto its roof and blocking the fast lane and that the big rig was blocking the HOV lane.

There was an indication that a third vehicle was also involved but there was no vehicle description.

The Riverside County coroner’s office was summoned to the scene at 5:11 a.m., according to the CHP.

The CHP closed all eastbound lanes in the area, until just after 9 a.m., when the carpool and left main lane were reopened.
