A tragic collision early Saturday morning claimed the life of a 35-year-old man whose vehicle became disabled in the HOV lane of the 101 Freeway in Tarzana.
According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the man was fatally struck while reportedly underneath his vehicle. The incident prompted the CHP to issue a SIG alert as investigators examined the crash scene.
One driver stuck in the resulting traffic described her shock and sadness at witnessing the aftermath, calling the situation “heartbreaking and unimaginable.”
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, including what led the man to exit his vehicle in such a dangerous location.
The incident caused significant delays as emergency crews worked to clear the scene. Further updates will follow as the investigation progresses.
