A devastating accident on the H-3 Freeway left one person dead and caused major disruptions for eastbound traffic on Thursday. The collision, which occurred around 9 a.m., involved a flatbed truck that veered off the road, resulting in a fatal crash.
Authorities confirmed that the victim, a 30-year-old woman, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the truck, a 24-year-old man, reportedly lost control of the vehicle under unclear circumstances.
The incident forced officials to shut down all eastbound lanes of the H-3 for five hours while investigators and cleanup crews worked at the site. Drivers faced significant delays, with many being rerouted to alternative roads.
As the investigation continues, police urge motorists to exercise caution and remain patient during winter conditions, which may have contributed to the crash.
Further updates on the investigation will be provided as more details emerge.
