8 Slightly Injured in 10-Car Pileup

About 10 cars collided Tuesday in a chain-reaction crash on the Ventura Freeway, slightly injuring eight people, authorities said.

Two lanes of the westbound freeway at Mureau Road were closed for about 45 minutes after the 2 p.m. crash, California Highway Patrol Officer Ken Lane said.

Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Henry Rodriguez said two people were taken to a nearby hospital “with bumps and bruises, nothing serious.” The other six victims were examined at the scene and released.
