The incident occurred shortly after 6 a.m. near Ramona Boulevard on the southbound side of the freeway. As a result of the crash, a person was apparently ejected from a vehicle and thrown onto the northbound side, according to the California Highway Patrol's dispatch notes.
The northbound 605 was temporarily shut down as a Los Angeles County Fire Department helicopter landed in lanes to transport the injured driver. The crash victim's exact condition was not immediately known.
