Los Angeles,CA : one person has been killed and several injured on April, tuesday 25th 2017

At least one person has been killed and several injured after a horror crash involving two 18-wheelers and several cars sparked an explosion and fire.

The two big rigs and several other vehicles collided on a motorway in Los Angeles on Tuesday, forcing authorities to shut down two major arteries into the city for hours.

Nine other people are believed to have been injured in the fiery crash, which sent plumes of thick black smoke billowing into the sky, California Highway Patrol Officer Kevin Tao said.

Local television images showed firefighters pouring water on the burned-out hulk of a tanker truck, a small car wedged underneath.
