405 reopens after fatal wrong-way ****** that caused traffic nightmare

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) – A deadly ****** involving a wrong-way driver forced the closure of the southbound 405 Freeway through the Sherman Oaks area Tuesday morning.

The ****** was reported just after 4 a.m. when a motorist was spotted traveling northbound in the southbound lanes, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The CHP confirmed one person was killed as a result of the ******, and at least one other person was transported to a nearby hospital in unknown condition.
