A crash on the eastbound 105 freeway involving a motorcycle and vehicle Tuesday afternoon has been cleared, said Officer Tatiana Sauquillo with CHP.

The collsion occurred about 5:45 p.m. just east of the Vermont Avenue exit, Sauquillo said.

The motorcyclist was transported to a local hospital and the cause of the incident is under investigation, she said.

Firefighters and CHP officers waded through rush hour traffic to reach the victim. Aerial footage of the scene showed a person lying face down on the ground, but there was no official word on their condition.

A SigAlert was issued at 6:47 p.m. and ended at 7:34. The first three lanes of the freeway were blocked immediately after the crash, causing a jam in rush-hour traffic, Sauquillo said.
