Motorcyclist Killed In Crash On 405 Freeway In West LA

WEST LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) - A motorcyclist was killed Wednesday in a crash that shut down several lanes of the 405 Freeway in West Los Angeles.

The crash was reported about 10 a.m. near Santa Monica Boulevard and a Sigalert was issued a short time later, the California Highway Patrol said.

SKY9 was over the scene and captured images of what appeared to be a body covered in a white sheet.

All lanes reopened by noon.
