Two people were killed early Tuesday in a two-vehicle crash on the 101 Freeway in Studio City.
California Highway Patrol officers and Los Angeles Fire Department personnel responded at 2:25 a.m. Tuesday to the westbound 101 and the 170 Freeway junction with the 134 Freeway, near the Tujunga Avenue exit.
According to preliminary findings, a black KIA compact SUV was stopped in traffic lanes for unknown reasons, and two people inside exited the vehicle, said West Valley Area CHP Officer Cody Sturges.
“While the occupants were outside of the vehicle, a white International box truck collided with the Kia and the occupants,” Sturges said. “Both occupants of the Kia — one male and one female — were pronounced deceased on scene by LAFD personnel.”
The L.A. County Medical Examiner’s office withheld their names until family notifications were made.
A SigAlert was issued for the closure of all lanes of the northbound 101 at the 170 and the westbound 134 to the northbound 101.
