Mission Hills Crash Sends Sedan Underneath a Flatbed Truck, Driver Survives

MISSION HILLS, CA (November 28, 2018) – A woman was hospitalized following a traffic collision with a big rig Wednesday morning in Mission Hills.

The collision happened just before 10:00 on northbound 5 Freeway near 118 Freeway.
