1 person killed, another critically injured after a car drove off a freeway in Lynwood (Lynwood, CA)

A man lost his life and another person was left in critical condition after a single-vehicle accident early Monday morning in Lynwood.

As per the initial information, the fatal car crash was reported just before 1:15 a.m. on the eastbound lanes of the 105 Freeway near Long Beach Boulevard. The preliminary reports showed that a four-door BMW went off the freeway, plowed through a concrete barrier wall and landed on a surface street below, after flipping multiple times down the embankment.

One of the passengers was declared dead at the scene, while the other was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment on injuries considered to be traumatic. While traffic on the freeway was not affected by the wreck, authorities issued a closure under the Fir Street freeway overpass, between Fernwood Avenue and Lynwood Road.

CalTrans crews were also requested to the scene in an attempt to repair the guardrail and damaged barrier wall. No other details are available.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
