A fatal crash on the northbound 110 near West Vernon Avenue left at least two vehicles overturned Sunday afternoon. The collision halted multiple lanes while emergency crews responded and CHP investigated; authorities have not said what caused it.

The California Highway Patrol placed the crash shortly before 2:47 p.m., according to KTLA. Firefighters confirmed one person had died at the scene, while CHP officers investigated. The station's report did not give a cause or further account of how the crash unfolded.

An entry in the chpfatal.com CHP incident tracker identifies an overturned black vehicle and an overturned Honda Civic near West Vernon Avenue on Interstate 110 North at 2:47 p.m. on November 1. The tracker says a coroner was notified and an investigator assigned, but does not describe the collision sequence.

Hours-Long Shutdown Snarled Northbound Traffic

The crash triggered a hard closure that held multiple lanes of the freeway, with the chpfatal.com log showing lanes two, three and four closed and only a single lane open as of 3:07 p.m. KTLA's report similarly described multiple lanes of the 110 shut down for hours as the investigation played out. The same tracking log shows the roadway was not reported clear until 5:48 p.m., with the SigAlert canceled two minutes later.

A Separate Fatal Crash on the 110

KTLA reported that on February 6, 2026, a motorcyclist was killed in a separate crash on the southbound 110 just north of Adams Boulevard, where several lanes were closed during the investigation, according to KTLA.

CHP officers have not released the identity of Sunday's victim or disclosed what caused the crash. Investigators have not said whether speed, impairment or any other factor played a role, and no further details had been made public as of the time of KTLA's report.
