7-vehicle crash on 10 Freeway in LA's West Adams area shuts down eastbound lanes for hours

SOUTH LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A violent crash involving seven vehicles early Saturday morning forced the hourslong closure of the eastbound 10 Freeway in the West Adams area of Los Angeles.

The collision was reported at 3:12 a.m. near the Crenshaw Boulevard onramp, according to a California Highway Patrol incident log.

The pileup began when a blue Dodge Challenger and a gray Infiniti collided, the CHP said. Two of the seven vehicles involved in the crash overturned.

Whether anyone was seriously injured was unclear. News video appeared to show firefighter-paramedics transporting at least one person from the scene.

After vehicles were towed away, all lanes were reopened to traffic by 6 a.m.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
