US

One person died and three others were hospitalized in serious condition after a violent rollover crash near the interchange of two major L.A. freeways early Sunday. 

According to the California Highway Patrol, officers responded to the 134 Freeway eastbound connector with the southbound 5 Freeway in Griffith Park at 12:50 a.m. on reports of a single-vehicle crash. 

Upon arriving, they located the gray sedan involved in the collision on its roof and suffering major damage. 

Investigators found that one of the vehicle’s occupants was ejected from the car due to the force of the collision. Two others were trapped and had to be rescued with hydraulic rescue tools, and a fourth was able to escape on their own, authorities said. 

Of the three surviving victims, one was said to be in grave condition and the other two in critical condition. 

It was not immediately clear if impairment or speed played a role in the deadly crash. 

A SigAlert was issued for the affected stretch of freeway that lasted about two hours.
