The collision involved a big rig and two passenger vehicles, according to KTLA. Footage from the scene showed emergency crews carrying one person on a stretcher after they were found crawling along the side of the freeway.

A damaged sedan could be seen near the front of the semi, while a damaged SUV was at the rear. Another semi was also visible next to the crash scene but did not appear to have sustained any damage.

“One party was arrested,” a CHP spokesperson told KTLA, without providing further details about the person or the circumstances surrounding the arrest.

The conditions of the two people taken to the hospital were not immediately known.
