A tragic incident occurred on the 10 Freeway in West Los Angeles early Sunday morning, resulting in one fatality and three individuals being severely injured. According to authorities, the crash occurred just after 1:50 a.m. on the westbound span of the 10 Freeway near Overland Avenue in the Rancho Park neighborhood.

Preliminary investigations by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) have revealed that the collision involved three vehicles and was caused by a wrong way driver. Prior to the accident, several calls were made to officers reporting a motorist traveling east in the westbound lanes.

At this time, the identity of the deceased victim has not been released, and it remains unclear whether they were in the vehicle traveling in the wrong direction. Details regarding the injured individuals have also not been disclosed.

Video footage obtained by KTLA shows the Los Angeles Fire Department's first responders diligently working to extricate the injured victims from the heavily damaged vehicles before transporting them to nearby hospitals. The extent of their injuries is yet to be revealed.

CHP officials are currently investigating whether the wrong way driver was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol at the time of the crash. A SigAlert was issued for the affected area of the 10 Freeway at Overland, leading to a complete closure of the roadway during the initial investigation.

Law enforcement authorities have stated that they expect to reopen the freeway by 7:30 a.m. as they continue their efforts to piece together the sequence of events that led to this tragic incident. The investigation into the crash will likely focus on determining the factors that contributed to the wrong way driver's actions.

As more information becomes available, additional details regarding the victims and any potential charges the wrong way driver may face will be provided. Meanwhile, this incident serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers posed by impaired driving and the need for vigilance on our roadways.
