Los Angeles, CA (November 5, 2024) A tragic tanker truck collision in Los Angeles claimed the life of 19-year-old Nivardo Martinez Alarcon on Saturday, November 2nd. The fatal accident occurred on the 110 Freeway and involved multiple vehicles, officers reported.
A tanker truck was heading north on the freeway just before 11:00 p.m. when it collided with a silver Toyota Camry, a black Honda Accord, and a Toyota Highlander SUV. The damaged vehicles blocked a portion of the freeway and the tanker truck leaked 2,000 gallons of fuel all over the northbound freeway. This caused even more issues, according to reports.
The Los Angeles Fire Department arrived at the chaotic scene and began searching vehicles for anyone in need of medical care. They found 19-year-old Alarcon underneath the overturned tanker truck. Sadly, he had been crushed and did not survive. With heavy hearts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers invested the scene and were forced to close a large portion of the freeway as crews cleaned up the spilled fuel and debris. Tow trucks arrived to help move the damaged vehicles off the roadway, according to reports.
