Authorities say the accident happened on the eastbound lanes between the Knott Avenue and Beach Boulevard exits at about 11:45 p.m. Wednesday.

It took paramedics about 10 minutes to extract a 58-year-old driver from a big rig that had slammed into a stalled FedEx big rig in the middle lanes. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he was later declared dead.

Two other vehicles also were caught in the wreckage, according to the CHP, including a Chevrolet Suburban with a family of six onboard. No one in the Suburban was injured, and one person from the other vehicle sustained minor injuries.

Multiple lanes were blocked for hours. Just before 5:30 a.m., three lanes were reopened.
