Another major accident reported on steep Beverly Hills road
An investigation is underway after a truck crashed into a parked car in Beverly Hills Friday, on the same stretch of a steep roadway where two LAPD officers were killed in separate accidents involving trucks.
Police say a driver was trapped in his truck for 30 minutes after he crashed into a parked car on the same steep Beverly Hills road where two Los Angeles police officers were killed in separate crashes with trucks in 2014.
Police said the driver was extricated Friday and hospitalized but his condition was not known.
The crash happened on the same section of Loma Vista Drive where truck crashes two months apart in 2014 claimed the lives of the two officers.
