Authorities Investigate Fatal Crash on 405 Freeway near Los Angeles International Airport
Authorities are currently investigating a tragic incident that resulted in a fatal crash and the closure of lanes on the 405 Freeway near Los Angeles International Airport. The California Highway Patrol received a report around 3:45 a.m. on Monday morning about a vehicle striking a pedestrian on the northbound side of the freeway at Lennox Boulevard.
According to initial reports, it appears that multiple vehicles may have struck the victim, although it remains unclear exactly how many were involved. Tragically, the pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene by authorities from the California Highway Patrol.
