The crash was first reported shortly after 2 p.m. near the Sunland Boulevard on-ramp.

A man involved in the crash was reported to be holding his neck and chest, and medics were requested as a precaution.

A tow truck was called for at least one vehicle with reported axle damage.

A SigAlert was issued while crews cleared the roadway and lifted once the lanes reopened, the agency reported. The California Highway Patrol has not released further details on the cause of the crash, and the extent of injuries has not been confirmed.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Sunland-Tujunga, CA
If you're involved in a crash on a freeway on-ramp or nearby surface street, get to a safe area away from moving traffic as soon as you can. Call for medical help even if pain seems minor at first, since neck and back injuries usually appear hours later. Get a copy of the CHP or local police report once it's available, and follow up with a doctor if you were told to hold your neck, chest, or back during or after the crash. Keep any paperwork from the scene, including tow and medical records, in case you need them later.
