(November 1, 2020, 12:20 p.m.) -- Following-up on initial coverage of a story flashed yesterday on LBREPORT.com, a November 1 CHP release says that on Oct. 31 at about 3:50 a.m. a 23 year old Los Angeles woman allegedly drove the wrong way -- northbound -- at a high rate of speed in the High Occupancy Vehicle lane of the southbound 405 freeway north of Studebaker Rd. (area Palo Verde Ave.) where she collided head-on with another vehicle driven by a 32 year old Long Beach man.

LBFD pronounced these two parties deceased at the scene, identified by the LA County Coroner's office as Kaylee Perez, 23, of Los Angeles (CHP-alleged wrong way driver) and Manasseh Marion, 32, of Long Beach.

In its release, CHP indicates arriving officers found ten vehicles involved and as a result of the head-on collision and both vehicles disabled within traffic lanes, a chain reaction of eight other collisions occurred within minutes of the initial collision. .

CHP's release says the weather was "cool, foggy and damp." CHP is continuing to investigate what took place.
