Fatality Traffic Collision; INC#0244; 06:07AM; 8900 N Winnetka Av; https://bit.ly/3DWbtKV; #Winnetka; PRELIM: Two vehicles collided at the intersection of WInnetka Av and Vanowen St, sending one into the yard of a nearby home, gravely injuring and trapping that driver in the wreckage. Despite the swift arrival of LAFD personnel, and their teamwork with power tools to disentangle him from the badly damaged vehicle, the man (in his 20's?) proved beyond medical help, was determined dead and remains at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle sustained only minor injuries, declined offered ambulance transportation, and remains at the scene speaking to investigators. #LATraffic: Closure of one or more lanes in the immediate area until LAPD operations are complete, unknown duration. Motorists, expect congestion and delay, avoid the immediate area and consider an alternate route. Detours are readily available.
