SYLMAR, CA (August 19, 2024) — A California Highway Patrol officer is in critical condition following a collision on the 5 Freeway in Sylmar early Sunday morning. The incident occurred around 3:32 a.m. at the interchange with the 210 Freeway.

The officer was assisting with a disabled vehicle in the slow lane when a 2023 Tesla struck him. The officer was transported to Providence Holy Cross Hospital and remains in critical condition with significant injuries.

Southbound lanes of the 5 Freeway near the 110 Freeway through Balboa Boulevard were closed for several hours but have since reopened. Preliminary reports indicate that alcohol and drugs were not factors in the Tesla crash on Sylmar Freeway.
