A crash in Canyon Country early Sunday morning left one driver dead and the vehicle “sheared in two pieces.”
Just after 2:20 a.m. Sunday, officials with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Newhall Office received reports of a solo-vehicle crash on the southbound 14 freeway north of Sand Canyon Road, according to Officer Greengard with the CHP.
“Upon arriving on scene, units located a solo vehicle fatal crash,” Greengard said. “The initial investigation indicates the vehicle left the roadway and onto the right shoulder.”
The vehicle then reportedly collided with both a metal beam guard rail and overhead freeway sign pole, according to Greengard.
“The vehicle was sheared in two pieces and the driver/sole occupant sustained fatal injuries,” he said.
Freeway lanes were not impacted, according to Greengard.
The identity of the victim was not made public as of Sunday morning, awaiting the next of kin to be informed.
