A fatal incident occurred on the 110 Freeway in South L.A. leading to the death of one person and injuries to two others. The collision involved a fuel tanker and took place between Manchester Avenue and Century Boulevard on the northbound side of the 110 Freeway just before 10 p.m. on Saturday.

The resulting crash resulted in approximately 100 gallons of jet fuel leaking onto the roadway from the fuel tanker, which collided with two other vehicles. The tanker truck ended up resting atop a black sedan.

An eye-witness to the crash perceived the tanker truck swerving suddenly towards the left while he was driving. However, the details of the incident are not fully clear, including whether the tanker truck might have been hit by another vehicle causing it to swerve.

The person who died was the driver of the sedan that was crushed under the tanker truck. The injured parties, a 30-year-old female and a 45-year-old male, sustained minor injuries. After the tanker driver survived the collision, another individual transported him to a hospital

Fire officials described the fuel spill situation as static a few hours post-crash, as the main leak was mainly contained. Nevertheless, smaller leaks and the fuels flammability continued to present a challenge. Consequently, the firefighters took no chances, implementing full protective equipment, oxygen, and had a hose line prepared for potential ignition.

The 110 Freeway was closed between Manchester Avenue and Century Boulevard during the cleanup. The southbound lanes reopened at 7 a.m. on Sunday. Meanwhile, the connector ramps to the 105 Freeway were also suspended post-crash.

As the cleanup progressed, the truck remained overturned on the freeway. The crew eventually managed to empty the truck of remaining fuel allowing for the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to initiate a death investigation. At approximately 10 a.m. the truck was righted and the northbound stretch of the 110 Freeway, impacted by the accident, reopened shortly after 12:20 p.m. on Sunday, ending a closure lasting over 14 hours. The actual cause of the crash is yet to be determined.

A fatal collision in South Los Angeles has resulted in the temporary closure of all lanes of the 110 Freeway. The accident, which occurred Saturday night on the northbound side of the 110 between Manchester Avenue and Century Boulevard, involved a fuel tanker and two other vehicles. The tanker overturned in the collision, causing approximately 100 gallons of jet fuel to spill onto the roadway. Footage obtained by KTLA revealed the tanker resting atop a black sedan, with fuel visibly leaking from the truck.

Unnamed eyewitnesses at the scene of the accident reported seeing the tanker abruptly veer left, although the exact cause of the collision remains unknown. One eyewitness commented that it appeared the truck driver was responsible for the accident yet could not confirm whether the truck had been hit prior to its erratic movement.

The incident resulted in one fatality and two injuries. The person killed in the accident was driving the sedan beneath the overturned truck and was pronounced dead at the scene. The injured parties, a 30-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man, suffered minor injuries. Witnesses reported that the truck driver survived and was transported to a hospital by another individual, but fire officials have not confirmed these accounts.

Efforts by LAFD and other response teams to manage the fuel leak have been challenging. Hours after the accident, the main leak was reportedly contained, yet smaller leaks continued to present a potential fire hazard. The 110 Freeway remained closed between Manchester Avenue and Century Boulevard, with both lanes reopening Sunday morning at 7 am. The connector ramps to the 105 Freeway were also closed as a result of the collision.

Efforts to clear the scene are ongoing. The process involves removing the remaining fuel from the overturned truck before it can be turned right-side-up and removed by a private company. The California Highway Patrol has initiated an investigation into the cause of the accident.

A severe crash on the 110 Freeway in South Los Angeles, involving a fuel tanker, resulted in one fatality and two injuries on Saturday night. The tragic incident, which required the closure of all lanes on the freeway, occurred on the northbound side of the 110, between Manchester Avenue and Century Boulevard just prior to 10 p.m.

The collision involved three vehicles, including the fuel tanker, which tipped over and came to rest atop a black sedan. A consequent spill from the tanker resulted in an estimated 100 gallons of jet fuel dispersing onto the roadway. Video evidence obtained from KTLA provided a visual of the fuel spilling from the overturned truck.

Speculations around the cause of the crash remain, with one unnamed witness recalling a sudden left swerve from the tanker. As the investigations continue, the tankers drivers condition remains unknown although it is reported that he survived the incident and was autonomously transported to a nearby hospital. The affected individuals, other than the unidentified fatality, were listed as a 30-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man, both with non-critical injuries.

The resultant fuel leak situation was labeled as static by LAFD Capt. Cody Weireter hours after the incident as while the main leak was mainly contained, smaller leaks continuously posed challenges due to the fuels potential for flammability forcing firefighters to take utmost precautions.

In terms of traffic disruption, both sides of the 110 Freeway between Manchester Avenue and Century Boulevard were also closed temporarily, along with connector ramps to the 105 Freeway to facilitate the cleanup process. The southbound lanes were reopened as of 7 a.m. Sunday, and a private company was said to be engaged to recover the truck and prepare it for removal, as reported by LAFD. The official cause of the crash remains under investigation.
