Motorcyclist Injured, Traffic Delayed after Two Accidents

Two separate car accident that occurred on the San Diego Freeway near Culver City and the Golden State Freeway in Castaic caused traffic delays and injured a motorcyclist Tuesday morning.

A big rig carrying a load of paper plates was involved in a collision with a semitruck, causing the plates to spill across the freeway. No injuries were reported but traffic was delayed as authorities cleared the freeway, said Officer Francisco Villalobos of the California Highway Patrol.

In the Palms area of West Los Angeles a motorcyclist was injured when they were involved in a collision with a truck on the northbound 405 Freeway, Villalobos said. As authorities investigated the accident two lanes just south of Palms Boulevard were closed for a little over an hour Tuesday morning. The extent of the motorcyclist’s injuries was not known, Villalobos added.
