One person is dead following a wrong-way crash on the 405 freeway in Hawthorne Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
Just before 1 a.m., a driver going southbound in the northbound lanes was involved in a traffic collision just south of Rosecrans Avenue, according to California Highway Patrol incident logs.<\/p>\n
Multiple calls had reported the car going the wrong way just before the crash, the logs show.<\/p>\n
Then at 12:50 a.m., reports of a traffic collision began to flood into CHP dispatchers, with witnesses saying a vehicle was on fire. At least five vehicles were reportedly blocking traffic lanes.<\/p>\n
Just after 1 a.m., the entire northbound 405 freeway was shut down as firefighters, paramedics and CHP officers responded to the scene.<\/p>\n
All lanes were reopened just after 5 a.m., according to CHP logs.<\/p>\n
The investigation into the crash is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One person is dead following a wrong-way crash on the 405 freeway in Hawthorne Tuesday morning.
