Three people were injured after a big box truck toppled off of a freeway ramp and crash-landed on on the scene of an earlier accident on a Los Angeles County highway.
The chaotic crash occurred amid commuter traffic around 7:30 a.m. Friday on the interchange between the 14 and 5 Freeways in Santa Clarita while the roadways were soaked with rain, KABC reported.
A commuter who was filming the primary crash, which involved a semi-truck and an SUV.
The semi-truck might be seen overturned on its side as a black SUV is pinned up against a wall. At the very least two law enforcement vehicles might be seen responding to the scene and blocking off traffic within the left lane.
Suddenly, a box truck promoting Toyo Tires traveling above the crash flips over the guardrail and violently lands upside-down right on top of the already mangled vehicles.
Tommy Dorado, who filmed the crash, told KABC he was frightened that the primary responders on the scene can have been hurt.
“At first I used to be in shock,” he said. “I used to be in disbelief. I truthfully couldn’t consider I used to be witnessing something like that firsthand.”
No first responders were injured, county fire officials confirmed, but two people were transported to local hospitals after the box truck fell over and one other person was taken to the hospital from the sooner crash.
No one was within the SUV or the semi-truck when the box-truck landed on them, officials said.
The incident was actually the third in a series of crashes at the placement. The primary crash occurred around 10:15 p.m. Thursday night when a semi truck jackknifed, and left its trailer hanging over the side of the road.
Around 6:30 a.m. the SUV and semi-truck, together with a number of other passenger vehicles, crashed, spilling roughly 40 gallons of fuel onto the road, officials said. Cleanup crews responded to the positioning.
Then at 7:24, the box-truck flew off of the upper roadway onto the second crash scene.
The CHP told KABC that weather doesn’t appear to have been a consider the crashes.
