A man died after he was involved in a two-car crash on the 110 Freeway in South Los Angeles early Sunday morning. 

It happened at around 5 a.m. on northbound lanes of the freeway near Manchester Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The initial crash, which involved a black sedan and a gray cargo van, happened in express lanes. A man who got out of his car following the crash was the hit by another driver and an out-of-service bus hit the person's body as it was in the road, Metro officials said. 

"Metro extends its deepest sympathies to the victim's family and friends," said a statement from a company spokesperson. 

The man was identified as 23-year-old Giovanni Hernandez Santiago by the Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner.

CHP officers issued a SigAlert that lasted for nearly three hours in the area.
