At least one person was killed Wednesday night in a multi-vehicle crash involving at least three semi trucks, a UPS truck and several vehicles on the Foothill (210) Freeway near Pasadena that closed the freeway for several hours. California Highway Patrol officers were called at 11:45 p.m.
Wednesday, July 3, to the westbound freeway and Madre Street where they found a sedan and two semis blocking the middle lanes of the freeway, as well as several damaged vehicles, including a white Honda Civic, CHP Officer Sean Lough told City News Service. One vehicle ended up on a hillside with a person trapped inside, but firefighters were able to free them. Video showed oil leaked onto the freeway and large pieces of concrete strewn across the freeway lanes.
A name, age or gender were not immediately released for the person who died. They had been taken to a hospital, where they were pronounced dead, Lough said. The collision prompted the closure of all lanes of the westbound freeway near the North Michilinda Avenue off-ramp in Arcadia while CHP officers investigated the cause of the crash.
