Lake Balboa Truck vs Car Crash Leaves 1 Dead, Another Injured

LOS ANGELES, CA (February 21, 2024) — A tragic collision in Lake Balboa on Tuesday morning resulted in one fatality and left another individual critically injured.
The incident, occurring at 17300 W. Saticoy Street around 9:40 a.m., involved a car and a pickup truck, as reported by the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD).
The impact caused the truck to hit a tree and a commercial structure, leading to damage to a natural gas meter. Despite the potential risk, LAFD crews swiftly managed to halt the gas leak without any ensuing fires.
The Lake Balboa truck crash led to one victim being pronounced dead at the scene, while an adult female was rescued and transported to a hospital in critical condition. Adding to the complexity, the truck was found to be transporting pesticide containers, prompting a hazardous material response to ensure no spillage occurred.
