California Highway Patrol responded to the scene at Alameda Avenue around 3:45 a.m., where multiple vehicles were involved in the crash. One person was fatally injured, and three others were taken to a hospital with their conditions unspecified. CHP issued a two-hour closure of the northbound lanes, although the collector road was opened at 6 a.m. to ease traffic congestion.
