Rollover crash on freeway interchange in Griffith Park leaves one dead, three hospitalized

One person was killed and three others hospitalized after a single-car rollover crash on the connector road between SR-134 and I-5 in Griffith Park early Sunday morning. 
It happened at around 12:50 a.m. on the portion of the road that connected the eastbound 134 Freeway to the southbound 5 Freeway, the California Highway Patrol said. 
Responding crews pronounced one person dead at the scene while three others were rushed to a nearby hospital. At the latest, one of the victims is said to be in grave condition while they others are critical, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. 
Upon arrival, officers found a white sedan that had rolled onto its roof that was partially blocking the rightmost lane. They said that the car was “cut apart by fire.”
The force of the crash ejected one person from the car and left two others trapped inside. Firefighters had to use hydraulic tools to rescue them. The fourth victim was able to get out on their own, firefighters said. 
There was no further information provided and the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
