One person was killed and 10 were hospitalized in a fiery freeway crash in Boyle Heights that involved several vehicles early Sunday morning, officials said. <\/p>\n
The wreck was reported at 4:46 a.m. on the transition ramp from the southbound 5 Freeway to the westbound lanes of the 10 Freeway.<\/p>\n
One car was reported to be engulfed in flames, and Los Angeles County Fire Department crews were called to the scene. <\/p>\n
All lanes on the transition road from the southbound 5 to the westbound 10 were shut down and expected to stay closed until about 11:30 a.m., said Sgt. Adam Bender with the California Highway Patrol. <\/p>\n
What caused the early-morning crash is unclear, Bender said, and investigators with the CHP\u2019s Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team, or MAIT, have been called to investigate the crash. <\/p>\n
Fifteen people were assessed at the scene, according to an alert from the Los Angeles Fire Department, and 10 people were taken to hospitals. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One person was killed and 10 were hospitalized in a fiery freeway crash in Boyle Heights that involved…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":111541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[2640,59806,22336,852,5154,48,52,51,47,50,49,59805,59808,3335,592,2489,13023,53299,25041,59807,59809],"class_list":{"0":"post-111540","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-a-m","9":"tag-adam-bender","10":"tag-boyle-heights","11":"tag-chp","12":"tag-freeway","13":"tag-la","14":"tag-la-headlines","15":"tag-la-news","16":"tag-los-angeles","17":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","18":"tag-los-angeles-news","19":"tag-multi-car-crash","20":"tag-multidisciplinary-accident-investigation-team","21":"tag-official","22":"tag-people","23":"tag-scene","24":"tag-several-vehicle","25":"tag-sgt","26":"tag-sunday-morning","27":"tag-westbound-lane","28":"tag-wreck"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
