3 dead in solo-vehicle collision on 5 Freeway off-ramp in Boyle Heights 

A crash on the 5 Freeway claimed the lives of three people in Boyle Heights early Sunday morning. 

According to CHP officials, the collision occurred just after 2:45 a.m. on the northbound on- and off-ramps of the 5 at Calzona Street and involved a single black SUV. 

The car appeared to have slammed a wall on the ramp and caught fire near a home adjacent to the freeway entrance. It was facing the wrong direction on the on-ramp, authorities said.

Los Angeles Fire Department crews arrived and extinguished the flames before they spread to the home and nearby trees.
