Deadly Motorcycle Crash Closes Westbound 101 Freeway

Los Angeles, California — The westbound 101 Freeway in Woodland Hills was temporarily shut down early Wednesday morning following a deadly motorcycle crash.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the fatal incident occurred around 4 a.m. near Topanga Canyon Boulevard. The motorcyclist, who has not yet been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash also involved three other vehicles, though the specific details leading up to the collision are still under investigation.

AIR7 was on the scene, capturing images of the freeway closure and the significant traffic disruptions. All westbound lanes were initially closed, with traffic being diverted at Canoga Boulevard. By 6 a.m., the far left lane was reopened to allow some traffic to pass, but the investigation continues, keeping the remaining lanes closed.

Commuters are advised to seek alternative routes as it is unclear when the westbound 101 Freeway will fully reopen. The California Highway Patrol is working to determine the exact cause of the crash.

Motorists in the area are encouraged to stay updated on the situation and plan their travel accordingly to avoid further delays.
