5 hurt, including Caltrans worker, in crash
PARAMOUNT, Calif. (KTLA) — Five people — including a child and a Caltrans worker — were critically injured Tuesday afternoon in a three-vehicle crash on the 710 Freeway.
The crash happened about 2 p.m. in the freeway’s northbound lanes near Rosecrans Avenue when a Buick Cutlass Supreme spun out of control after colliding with a semi truck without its trailer. California Highway Patrol officials said they don’t yet know why the two vehicles collided, but it’s likely one of the two was changing lanes.
The Cutlass then crashed into a female Caltrans worker, who was out of her truck picking up trash near the freeway’s right shoulder, CHP officials said. A co-worker said the woman suffered injuries to her legs and she is expected to survive.
The child — a 3-year-old boy — was one of four passengers in the Cutlass, left almost completely crushed after the accident.
Paramedics rushed all five critically-injured people to hospitals in St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood and Long Beach Memorial Medical Center.
The crash caused a major traffic pile-up, as two of the six northbound lanes were closed. The Rosecrans Avenue off-ramp was also closed.
Cause of the 710 Freeway Accident
Based on the information provided by news reports, it is unclear what caused the collision between the Buick and big-rig on the freeway. However, if negligent, unsafe or distracted driving were contributing factors of the crash, the person deemed responsible can be held financially liable for the injuries the victims sustained.
