According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash was reported at around 5:30 a.m. just north of Telegraph Canyon Road.
At least three vehicles were involved, including a big rig. One vehicle was found sideways in the traffic lanes, and a punctured fuel tank caused a diesel spill in the roadway.

No further details, including information about injuries, were immediately available.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
