Los Angeles County, California (East Hollywood, CA) – On May 8, 2023, a wrong-way motorist on the 101 Freeway in East Hollywood was killed after his vehicle collided with two other vehicles and caught fire in East Hollywood, CA.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the horrific collision shut down much of the motorway during rush hour. A red Toyota Prius was seen going north in the 101 Freeway’s southbound lanes at 4 a.m. When Prius sideswiped a Honda car and slammed head-on with a pickup truck at the Santa Monica Boulevard exit, both Prius and the vehicle exploded into flames. After that, a Jeep collided with the Prius and the truck.
Prius’s operator was declared dead at the spot of the accident. The individual’s identity has not been revealed. Another person was taken to hospital in an unknown condition, while two others sustained minor injuries. According to Gomez, flying debris may have triggered two further collisions in the northbound lanes. One of the collisions was thought to be the result of the motorist being distracted by what was going on on the opposite side of the motorway.
According to Gomez, all southbound lanes on Melrose Avenue were halted throughout the investigation.
