Santa Clarita, CA (November 2, 2024) – A multi-vehicle collision with injuries was reported early this morning on SR-14 Northbound, just north of the Sierra Hwy exit near Santa Clarita. Emergency responders, including personnel from the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACOFD), arrived quickly to assist the injured and secure the accident scene.
The incident, which occurred around 1:21 a.m., involved five to six vehicles, including a white Honda CR-V, a red Mazda, and a Dodge Charger. Initial reports indicate that one vehicle was overturned, with occupants trapped inside. Some vehicles were facing the wrong way and blocking the middle lanes, leading to significant traffic disruption in the area. Emergency personnel were able to access the site from the southbound lanes and coordinated a traffic break to manage congestion and ensure safety for those involved.
At least one vehicle was rendered inoperable, blocking the slow lane. Tow services were requested to help clear the scene as responders worked to manage the incident. Specific details on the injuries sustained have not been released. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is conducting an investigation to determine the cause of the accident.
Our thoughts are with all those affected, and we hope for a full and prompt recovery for the individuals involved.
