CLAREMONT, Calif. (KABC) -- A driver was killed after crashing into a fire truck on the 10 Freeway in Claremont, which prompted the closure of a few eastbound lanes Tuesday morning.

The crash happened around 4:37 a.m. at Mills Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The firetruck was responding to a previous crash on the freeway when another car crashed into the back of it. The driver of that second vehicle died at the scene.

The right two lanes of the freeway were closed for a few hours, but reopened by 8 a.m.
