Los Angeles, CA (March 24, 2025) – A deadly multi-vehicle crash occurred early Saturday morning on the northbound 405 Freeway near Brentwood, resulting in one fatality and extensive traffic delays.

According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the accident happened at approximately 3:18 a.m. near the Skirball Center Drive exit. Four vehicles were involved in the collision: a black sedan, a blue Toyota RAV4, a gold Toyota Corolla, and a gray Toyota sedan.

Authorities reported that one individual was ejected from a vehicle upon impact and was pronounced dead at the scene. The identity of the victim has not yet been released. Emergency responders, including Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) crews, arrived at the scene to provide medical assistance and secure the area. Paramedics assessed multiple individuals for injuries, and at least one person was transported to a nearby hospital.

CHP officers managed traffic control while firefighters worked to clear the wreckage. The freeway remained partially shut down for nearly three hours before reopening fully by 6:24 a.m.

We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family of the deceased victim. We also wish those hurt in this wreck make a rapid recovery.

Fatal Multi-Vehicle Accidents and Wrongful Death Claims in Los Angeles

Los Angeles has seen a significant rise in traffic-related fatalities, with over 300 deaths recorded annually in recent years. Multi-vehicle crashes, often caused by high speeds and congested roadways, contribute to a large portion of these incidents. Certain areas, such as Downtown LA, Sun Valley, and Wilmington, have been particularly affected, with dozens of fatal accidents reported each year. As traffic deaths continue to climb, the impact on victims’ families is profound, leaving them to cope with both emotional and financial hardships.

When a fatal crash occurs due to negligence, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim to seek compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering. In California, these claims must typically be filed within two years of the victim’s passing. Given the legal complexities involved, working with an experienced attorney can help families navigate the process and secure the justice they deserve.
