Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies and paramedics responded to the 14700 block of Alondra Boulevard shortly before 12:45 a.m., Jan. 7, regarding a vehicle that crashed into a tree.

Arriving units found a tree down in lanes and a red sedan sideways with apparent major front end damage.

The male driver, solo occupant in the sedan, was able to exit the vehicle on his own and declined medical transport.

Witnesses off camera stated the vehicle was in excessive speed prior to colliding into the tree.

An irrigation main water line was also ruptured in the collision, sending water gushing skyward and drenching westbound lanes.

The driver was administered a field sobriety test to determine if alcohol was a factor in the collision.

No other vehicles or injuries were involved in the crash.
