Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash Closes Southbound 405 Freeway

A tragic series of accidents occurred on the 405 Freeway in California, resulting in multiple fatalities and significant traffic disruptions. On Monday night, a multi-vehicle crash near Avalon Boulevard involved at least three cars, causing the death of one woman who was struck after exiting her vehicle amid the chaos. Preliminary investigations suggest a wrong-way driver may have initiated the incident, leading to a cascading series of collisions, while all southbound lanes were closed for several hours for emergency response. In a separate incident on the same freeway, a fatal crash occurred in Bothell, Washington, where a vehicle spun out and collided with another car, blocking traffic for an extended period. Additionally, a separate crash on the 15 Freeway resulted in one death, though details remain scarce. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding these tragic events.
