Fatality Reported in Los Angeles Multi-Vehicle Accident on Interstate 15 and Highway 79

LOS ANGELES, CA (August 7, 2024) – Tuesday morning, a deadly multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 15 and Highway 79 was reported.

The incident involving three vehicles occurred at around 6:18 p.m. on the northbound lanes of Interstate 15, just south of Highway 79 South. 

Initial reports indicate that one person was thrown into the southbound side of the freeway when their vehicle overturned, while another person blocked the second lane, leading to significant traffic disruptions for nearly four hours.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) quickly responded, deploying multiple units to handle the situation. By 6:26 AM, the northbound lanes were cleared, but the southbound lanes remained closed for ongoing investigations and to allow tow trucks to remove the damaged vehicles.

Witnesses said the crash involved a black Toyota Camry and a pickup truck, primarily affecting the northbound lanes. One of the vehicles ended up on its roof, requiring emergency services to respond. By 8:14 AM, CHP confirmed that the incident had been resolved, though they continued to manage the aftermath. Two tow trucks were dispatched to clear the scene, with one moving to the evidence tow yard.

The investigation also considered whether additional lane closures were necessary for safety. By 10:36 AM, all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume.
