Two other victims were transported to a nearby hospital with unknown injuries, CHP said.
Video from the scene shows one of the vehicles involved was damaged beyond recognition. A large pickup truck that suffered major front end damage ended up perpendicular to traffic.
Law enforcement officials could not confirm if speed or impairment were factors in the collision.
The northbound lanes of the 215 Freeway were closed in the immediate aftermath of the crash but have since reopened.
