One person was pronounced dead after a fiery traffic collision in Newhall on Wednesday.

The call for the crash, which included possible trapped passengers was first reported to the Los Angeles County Fire Department at 7:59 p.m. near the intersection of Sierra Highway and Clampitt Road, according to Fire Department Supervisor Martin Rangel.

“We had a solo-vehicle traffic collision with fire,” said Rangel. “There was one (dead on arrival).”

When emergency personnel arrived on the scene, the car appeared to have veered off the road and burned in a ditch beside the road.

The incident remains under investigation and traffic was diverted from the area while investigators worked to clear the wreckage.

No additional transports or injuries were reported as a result of the crash. The identification of the deceased had not been released as of the publication of this article.
