This past Saturday morning, a serious truck accident on the 101 Freeway left a tow truck driver pinned against his big rig in Los Angeles.

According to reports, the tow truck driver was trying to assist a motorist on the freeway.  While working just north of Melrose Avenue, another car crashed into them at approximately 2:15 AM.   Police say that another person suffered injuries during the trucking accident as well.

California Highway Patrol officials said that both injured parties were taken to the hospital.  One victim was reported to be in critical condition on the way to the hospital. 

After the accident, two southbound lanes on the 101 Freeway had to be closed as police conducted investigations.  At this time, there is no additional information and police plan to continue their investigations to see what prompted the collision.
