CHP is searching for a driver who was involved in a fatal hit-and-run of a pedestrian who was on the Embarcadero Road and Highway 101 on-ramp in Palo Alto. The hit-and-run happened around 5:00 a.m. Sunday on the eastbound Embarcadero Road on-ramp, according to CHP Officer Sophie Lu. The pedestrian was pronounced dead on the scene, Lu said. The Santa Clara Coroner's Office hasn't released the person's name.

One person was killed and 10 were hospitalized in a fiery freeway crash in Boyle Heights that involved several vehicles early Sunday morning, officials said. The wreck was reported at 4:46 a.m. on the transition ramp from the southbound 5 Freeway to the westbound lanes of the 10 Freeway. One car was reported to be engulfed in flames, and Los Angeles County Fire Department crews were called to the scene.

The crash happened around 10:39 a.m. Dec. 14 in the southbound lanes just south of Vine Hill Road, near the north edge of Scotts Valley, according to the California Highway Patrol's Santa Cruz office. CHP investigators said the 49-year-old man was driving a 2025 Toyota Tacoma when, for reasons still under investigation, the truck left the roadway and struck a tree near the right shoulder.
