WINNETKA, LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29 (KNN) — A three-vehicle traffic collision in Winnetka Thursday morning left one person dead at the scene and two others in serious condition.

The collision occurred around 7:10 a.m. Thursday in the 8900 block of North Winnetka Avenue at the Nordhoff Street intersection.
