The crash occurred just before 4 a.m. when the car drove off the West 3rd Street overpass and crashed onto the northbound side of the freeway, the California Highway Patrol’s traffic incident log stated.

The car was then struck by vehicles traveling on the 110 Freeway, according to the CHP.

A 50-year-old woman died at the scene, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart.

Officials issued a SigAlert for the closure of all northbound lanes, just north of 3rd Street, at about 4:15 a.m.

It was unclear how long the lanes would be closed.
