One person was killed and 10 were hospitalized in a fiery freeway crash in Boyle Heights that involved several vehicles early Sunday morning, officials said. The wreck was reported at 4:46 a.m. on the transition ramp from the southbound 5 Freeway to the westbound lanes of the 10 Freeway. One car was reported to be engulfed in flames, and Los Angeles County Fire Department crews were called to the scene.
"Mariachi Plaza was completely empty. There was not a soul there," Bass recalled a few hours later. "One restaurant, there were a handful of people. The other restaurant, there was literally nobody there."
