The Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office on Sunday released the name of the woman who was killed when a semi-truck smashed through the center divider wall on the Foothill (210) Freeway in Irwindale, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The woman was identified as Christina King, 58, according to the agency’s website, which does not list the decedent’s city of residence.<\/p>\n
The crash occurred at about 9 a.m. Saturday just south of the Irwindale Avenue on-ramp, the California Highway Patrol reported. The truck crashed through the wall from the eastbound lanes into the westbound lanes, striking at least two other vehicles.<\/p>\n
Firefighters and paramedics were dispatched to the location at 8:57 a.m. Saturday pronounced King dead at the scene, according to a Los Angeles County Fire Department public information officer.<\/p>\n
Paramedics rushed two critically injured people and eight people with minor injuries to a hospital. Six of the eight suffering from minor injuries were children, the county fire department spokesman said. Twenty-two people injured in the crash refused medical transport, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office on Sunday released the name of the woman who was killed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":368768,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[79483,48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-369367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-irwindale","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369367","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=369367"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369367\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
