Pedestrian Killed on Freeway in Downtown L.A. During Morning Rush Hour, Forcing Lane Closures

A fatal crash closed the transition from the northbound 5 Freeway to the 101 during Thursday morning's commute, the California Highway Patrol said.

The crash occurred about 5 a.m. when a vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian in the freeway lanes, CHP Officer Dion Conley said.

A SigAlert was issued about 5:45 a.m., and the transition road to the northbound 101 from the northbound 5 has been closed since, he said. There was no estimate on when the lanes would be reopened.

Images from traffic cameras showed traffic on the 5 Freeway backed up for miles behind the closure.
