A serious multi-vehicle collision involving a fuel tanker occurred at 9:55 p.m. on the 110 Freeway near Century Boulevard in South Los Angeles. The tanker, carrying approximately 1,000 gallons of jet fuel, overturned, spilling 100 gallons of its contents onto the freeway.
Emergency response teams arrived promptly, with the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) setting up a perimeter and urging bystanders and vehicles to remain at least 1,000 feet from the site due to the pervasive fuel odor in the air. A spokesperson from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) announced that all northbound lanes have been closed, and traffic is being redirected to the nearest onramp to ensure public safety.
Tragically, one person was found trapped under the overturned tanker and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another individual, a 30-year-old female, sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital. The tanker driver reported that he had blacked out shortly before the crash and only regained consciousness after the incident.
To contain the hazardous spill, firefighters are working with vacuum trucks, Class B foam, and sand. They successfully plugged one significant leak with a redwood plug, but additional small leaks continue to pose challenges. Although there is currently no fire, the containment efforts are expected to be extensive.
The northbound lanes of the 110 Freeway will remain closed at Manchester Boulevard until further notice. CHP advises drivers to seek alternative routes while the hazardous material team works to safely manage the spill and prevent further risks.
For updates, the media is directed to contact CHP.
