SigAlert: Pool Supply Truck Crash Blocks 405/Skirball Onramp

LOS ANGELES, CA — A crash involving a pool supply truck forced the closure to the Skirball Center Drive onramp to the northbound San Diego (405) Freeway Thursday.

The California Highway Patrol issued a SigAlert for the 405 Freeway expected to last until about 3:45 p.m. The SigAlert may be extended as the cleanup process continues, said CHP Officer Edgar Figueroa.

A two-vehicle crash was reported shortly after 2 p.m. on the onramp to the northbound side of the freeway. The onramp was closed as a precaution.

"One of the vehicles was carrying pool supplies, and there might be some of that stuff spilled on the roadway," Figueroa said.

The Los Angeles Fire Department has been called in to clean up any hazardous materials spilled in the crash.

Traffic was slowed on both sides of the 405 Freeway in the Sepulveda Pass as of 3 p.m.
