Los Angeles, CA (November 10, 2024) – Emergency responders were dispatched to a severe two-vehicle collision on Angeles Forest Highway, just south of Big Tujunga Canyon Road, on Sunday. The crash involved a gray Honda Civic and a white vehicle, resulting in significant injuries and a multi-agency response.
The accident was first reported around mid-morning, prompting a Code 3 response from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Los Angeles Fire Department. AR5, an emergency air rescue unit, was deployed overhead shortly after initial reports indicated multiple patients on-site. Following a preliminary assessment, the responders confirmed two critical injuries: an eight-year-old child and an adult female. A third individual sustained minor injuries.
AR5 landed on Angeles Forest Highway to transport the critically injured victims to County USC Medical Center. Due to the severity of the injuries and the rugged terrain, a second air squad, Copter 15, was requested to provide additional medical evacuation support. As investigations into the cause of the accident continue, the roadway remains partially closed to facilitate rescue and recovery efforts.
