Around 12 p.m. Sunday, emergency responders received reports of a traffic collision on the southbound 5 Freeway between Calgrove Blvd and Lyons Avenue in Santa Clarita, according to Ed Pickett, a dispatch supervisor with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
“We received reports of a solo-vehicle with fire,” said Pickett. “We transported one to the trauma center.”
