Mother’s Day took a fatal turn for a driver in Los Angeles after their SUV became disabled on a major highway and then was hit by a tour bus, police said.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) said it is investigating the two-vehicle crash that left one person dead and sent 32 others to the hospital early Sunday. CHP said the crash happened shortly after 5 a.m. on Highway 60 West when a Nissan Pathfinder became disabled for unknown reasons, blocking traffic and causing the tour bus to collide with the SUV.
“As a result of the impact, the Nissan Pathfinder became fully engulfed in flames, trapping the lone occupant,” a spokesperson for CHP said.

The westbound 60 Freeway will be closed between Azusa Avenue and Hacienda Boulevard indefinitely, police said. However, officers were able to re-open some lanes as of 7:30 a.m.
Police said the identity of the SUV driver is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
