One injured in 605 Freeway collision

Last Updated on January 17, 2023 by C-CAR

BASSETT >> A collision involving a tractor trailer and a car on the northbound 605 Freeway sent a driver to the hospital on Tuesday.

The crash, which occurred north of Valley Boulevard shortly before 8 a.m., shut down two lanes for nearly an hour.

The California Highway Patrol didn’t yet have details on the cause of the accident.

CHP Officer Pat Gomez said the car overturned several times after impact. Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to free the trapped driver and transported her by helicopter to a hospital.

He did not know her exact condition, but he said she was not critical.

CHP Officer Monica Posada said a SigAlert was issued at 8:18 a.m. for the carpool lane and the number one lane. At one point, all northbound lanes were closed so the helicopter can land.

The CHP canceled the SigAlert at 9:15 a.m.
