A three-vehicle crash involving a big rig closed part of southbound State Route 14 in Lancaster late Saturday night, sending two people to the hospital and leading to one arrest. The collision happened just before 11 p.m. near Avenue H, in the Antelope Valley area of northern Los Angeles County. According to reports, an initial two-car collision left a vehicle disabled in the travel lanes before a big rig struck it, launching it roughly 50 feet down an embankment. California Highway Patrol has not released the identity of the person arrested or said what charges, if any, they face. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
KTLA reported that CHP confirmed three vehicles were involved — a big rig and two passenger cars — and that two people were transported to area hospitals, though their conditions were not immediately disclosed. The outlet noted that the cause of the crash remained under investigation as of Sunday, and that officials had not released details about the person arrested at the scene. A separate report indicated that southbound SR-14 lanes near Avenue G were temporarily closed while crews cleared the wreckage. Investigators have not said whether the big rig driver, the arrested individual, or another factor contributed to the initial collision.
