ROWLAND HEIGHTS - One person died Monday evening in a vehicle on the eastbound 60 freeway west of Fullerton Road. First responders located a red Dodge minivan in the center divider just after 7:30 p.m. January 2. Los Angeles County firefighters had to remove the person from the Dodge minivan to perform CPR, but the person died at the scene, according to California Highway Patrol traffic logs. First Responders were told a possible seizure led to the death. It is unclear if the person who died was a passenger, or was a driver. It is also unclear if the minivan crashed into the center divider or merely had stopped. As of 8:50 p.m., the HOV, No. 1 and 2 lanes were blocked as first responders waited for investigators from the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner. Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor ROWLAND HEIGHTS - The California Highway Patrol now states a victim inside a vehicle was wounded by a gunman on the 60 freeway early Sunday morning.
Two people were heading east on the 60 freeway near Fairway Avenue when one of two males in a blue or purple Dodge sedan fired at least three gunshots, according to the California Highway Patrol in a written statement. The shooting occurred around 12:45 a.m. The wounded man and one other occupant exited onto Lemon Avenue and entered a strip mall at 20627 Golden Springs Dr. Initially, the California Highway Patrol Traffic Management Center told SGV CityWatch in an interview just before 7 a.m. that no gunshot victims had yet been found, but a caller said her husband had been shot on the freeway. However, a log of Los Angeles County Fire Department dispatches indicated firefighters responded to a medical emergency call at Lemon and Golden Springs at 12:52 a.m. in Diamond Bar. It is not publicly clear if the California Highway Patrol was told much later of a victim connected to the freeway shooting. The victim was taken to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, the CHP said. At 6:46 a.m., the CHP shut down all eastbound lanes of the 60 freeway at Nogales Street, including the Nogales on ramp for an investigation. All lanes were reopened just before 8 a.m. Anyone with information on this shooting is urged to call Investigator C. Rodriguez Of the CHP Baldwin Park Office at 626-338-1164. Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor ROWLAND HEIGHTS - All eastbound lanes of the 60 freeway at South Nogales Street remain closed for an investigation tied to a reported freeway shooting from earlier Sunday morning, a California Highway Patrol officer said.
The full eastbound closure is possibly related to a search for evidence after a vehicle-to-vehicle shooting was reported around 12:51 a.m. May 2, according to Officer Moises Marroquín of the California Highway Patrol Traffic Management Center. A one-hour Sig Alert was issued at 6:46 a.m. at South Nogales Street and also includes the Nogales on ramp and Fairway Drive. Initially, a caller reported that her husband was shot, but no victim was found on the freeway, Marroquín told SGV CityWatch. It is not yet publicly clear if a victim later turned up at a hospital, or if anyone was actually shot at all. A possible suspect vehicle was described as a Dodge Charger with tinted windows. |
