Man Killed, 2 Hurt After Truck Slams Into Freeway Overcrossing In Agoura Hills
AGOURA HILLS (CBSLA.com) — A man was killed and two others were critically injured Friday when a car crashed into the embankment off of the Ventura (101) Freeway in Agoura Hills.
The crash was reported about 1:55 a.m. on the freeway at Chesebro Road, Los Angeles County fire dispatch Supervisor Michael Pittman said.
A 2007 Chevrolet pickup truck apparently left the road "for undetermined reasons" and collided with the metal guard rail, according to a statement from the California Highway Patrol.
"After the impact, the Chevrolet continued on and eventually collided with the Chesebro Road concrete overcrossing," the statement said.
A passenger died at the scene, and the driver and another passenger were taken to the hospital for treatment, CHP officials said. All the victims were men.
