A traffic collision near the intersection of Newhall Ranch Road and McBean Parkway was the result of a driver having a medical emergency, according to officials.

Early Monday afternoon, a traffic collision near the Bridgeport Marketplace resulted in paramedics and first responders being called on scene.

“It appears that a person suffered a medical emergency and was driving erratically fast before they crashed,” said Lt. Becerra, Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station.

Witnesses on scene have indicated that the driver of the F-150 truck would eventually crash through a pole and slam into a wall.

The call came in at 12:05 p.m. and units were on scene by 12:07 p.m.

The collision resulted in traffic delays for all westbound lanes on Newhall Ranch Road, and law enforcement officials have asked commuters to use alternative routes.

The condition of the individual involved in the crash remains unknown, but Sheriff’s officials on scene did confirm that the victim was medically transported to a nearby hospital.
