Our officers who are conducting the investigation did speak with the passengers, obtaining statements and gathering information to try to ascertain what exactly took place prior to and leading up to this collision,

CHP Officer Zachary Salazar told NBC4 Los Angeles

It happened so quickly…a lot of chaos and then just red lights,

the eyewitness told local media

As a result of the impact, the Nissan Pathfinder became fully engulfed in flames, trapping the lone occupant,

a spokesperson for CHP said

It’s going to be very [catastrophic], especially because it’s Mother’s Day … it’s very sad that it had to start like this,
