"EL MONTE - All lanes of the westbound 10 Freeway were reopened late Tuesday morning at Peck Road, the site of an earlier fatal accident, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Three of the four lanes were closed for more than six hours Tuesday after a minivan driver was killed and two road construction workers were injured. The accident occured at 4:14 a.m. Tuesday, said the CHP.
Traffic lanes were reopened by around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, according to the CHP, but not before creating a major traffic slowdown from El Monte to West Covina that may have added more than an hour to commute time for motorists driving to Los Angeles.
CHP Officer Ed Jacobs says a Ford Aerostar rear-ended a road work truck as the crew picked up traffic cones on westbound 10.
Jacobs says the minivan's driver died. Two road workers were taken to the hospital with minor to moderate injuries.
Jacobs says he can't confirm TV reports that a dog in the minivan also was killed.
The crash follows a Sunday accident that killed two road workers on Interstate 405 in Torrance. Authorities say two suspected drunken drivers collided, and one car slammed into repaving equipment."
