One person was killed as the result of a Newhall crash early Monday morning, with officials determining that speed was a factor.

Just before 3 a.m. Monday, officials with the Los Angeles County Fire Department received reports of an expanded traffic collision near the intersection of Railroad Avenue and 5th Street in Newhall.

“They got on scene at 3 a.m.,” said Supervisor Sims with the department. “A vehicle was overturned, and one person was trapped.”

Officials worked for nearly 45 minutes to free the driver, a male adult in his 30’s who was the sole occupant of the single-vehicle crash, according to officials.
