A tragic single-car fire accident on the Hollywood (101) Freeway near Universal Studios resulted in a fatality early Sunday morning, according to authorities.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported that the accident occurred around 4:40 a.m. on the southbound freeway at Universal Studios Blvd.
The incident involved a white sedan that struck a concrete barrier on the freeway’s right shoulder, subsequently catching fire.
The severity of the crash and ensuing fire tragically claimed the life of the individual inside the vehicle.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, but the driver could not be saved despite their efforts. The intense flames engulfing the vehicle made rescue operations extremely challenging.
As a result of the accident, a SigAlert was issued at 5:52 a.m. for the southbound Hollywood (101) Freeway at the Universal Studios Blvd. onramp, which was later canceled at 6:05 a.m.
