LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) - A man was killed Saturday in a multi-vehicle crash on the San Diego (405) Freeway in North Hills, authorities said.
The crash occurred a little after 10:10 a.m. on the northbound freeway at the Nordhoff Street off-ramp and involved a semi-truck as well as possibly three other vehicles, the California Highway Patrol reported.
