One Killed, Two Hospitalized in Multi-Vehicle Rollover Crash on the 405 in Los Angeles: Northbound Lanes Closed About Five Hours
A fatal crash shut down the northbound San Diego (405) Freeway in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of Los Angeles, in Los Angeles County, California, early on November 1. At about 1:45 a.m., multiple vehicles collided near the Ventura (101) Freeway interchange; one person was ejected from a vehicle that rolled over and was pronounced dead at the scene, and two other people were taken to a hospital.
According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the ejected victim died at the scene. The identities of the person killed and of the two people hospitalized, and the extent of their injuries, have not been released, and the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
The crash and the response closed all northbound lanes for about five hours under a SigAlert before lanes reopened. The roadway was rain-slick at the time; officials have not said whether the wet conditions played a role.
The 405 is one of the busiest north-south freeways in the Los Angeles area, and Sherman Oaks, at the southern edge of the San Fernando Valley, is where the 405 and 101 freeways meet.
