LAPD motorcycle officer injured in crash on 405 Freeway in Bel Air; multiple NB lanes shut down

BEL AIR, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A Los Angeles Police Department motorcycle officer was rushed to a hospital after a crash on the 405 Freeway in Bel Air that temporarily shut down all northbound lanes.

The crash happened before 4:20 p.m. Thursday near Skirball Center Drive in the Sepulveda Pass during the afternoon rush hour.

Details on what led up to the crash were not immediately available, but it appeared a Tesla vehicle was involved.

Aerial footage showed paramedics treat the injured officer in the middle of the freeway. The officer was loaded into an ambulance and taken to a hospital in unknown condition.

Traffic was backed up for miles amid the shutdown. Some lanes were later reopened, but it's unclear when the northbound side of the freeway will fully reopen.
