Man Flees On Foot From 101 Freeway Wrong-Way Crash

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles authorities are searching for a man who drove the wrong way on westbound State Route 101 and slammed into a big rig and two cars before running from the scene.

The California Highway Patrol says there were no serious injuries in the four-vehicle crash early Wednesday near Tarzana.

CHP Officer Patrick Kimball says the hit-and-run driver was described as a man between 25 and 30 years old with short blond hair and a beard, last seen wearing dark pants.

All westbound lanes were briefly closed but traffic was moving again in time for the morning commute.
