Overview
- The collision at Golden Valley Road and Centre Pointe Parkway, which occurred Wednesday morning, injured 13 people.
- Fire crews deployed 10 ambulances, triaged the scene, used the Jaws of Life to free a bus passenger, and had all patients transported by 10:17 a.m.
- Injury reports differ across outlets, with KTLA citing one person in critical condition and five who declined treatment, while earlier reports said four were critical.
- Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Captain Brandon Barclay said the semi approached a yellow light at up to 70 mph in a 50 mph zone and attempted a right turn to avoid running the red before hitting the bus and two cars.
- The semi spilled gravel across the intersection and overturned next to a bus that came to rest on a curb, and officials continue cleanup and a cause investigation as some transit routes detour around the closure.
