One person was left in critical condition after a car slammed into a light pole Thursday night in the Sylmar neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley.
As per the initial information, the single-vehicle accident took place on I-5 Freeway. The early reports showed that a white Honda Civic was heading southbound on the I-5 Freeway, just north of Roxford Street when it crashed into a light pole on the right shoulder.
Due to the impact, the vehicle drove about 150 feet before coming to a complete halt at a fence link facing northbound. One victim has to be removed from the Honda by Los Angeles Fire Department personnel at the scene. Emergency responders performed CPR on the patient for around 10 minutes at 9:23 p.m.
The patient was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition via an ambulance. A minor patient was also taken to a hospital with minimal injuries. It is unknown if speed contributed to the collision. The slow lane was closed down at the time of the incident while crews worked at the scene. No other details are available.
The crash remains under investigation.
