Person killed in 110 Freeway crash in South LA
SOUTH LOS ANGELES, Calif. - One person was killed in a two-vehicle crash Sunday morning in South Los Angeles, according to authorities.
It happened around 5 a.m. on the northbound freeway just south of Manchester Avenue, the California Highway Patrol reported.
The crash involved a black sedan and a gray cargo van in the express lanes, officials said.
Following the initial crash, an out-of-service Metro bus struck the victim, according to Metro Los Angeles spokesman Jose Ubaldo.
"At about 5:10 this morning, an out-of-service Metro bus Line 210 heading northbound on the 110 Freeway north of Century Boulevard, struck a body that had been ejected from an earlier, non-Metro vehicle accident," Ubaldo said. "Metro extends its deepest sympathies to the victim's family and friends."
A Sigalert issued at 5:33 a.m. closing all northbound lanes of the freeway for approximately two hours. All lanes have since reopened.
