COMMERCE, CA - A man was killed Wednesday in a traffic crash on the northbound Santa Ana (5) Freeway in Commerce, authorities said.

The man, possibly in his 60s, died at the scene of his injury, which occurred about 4:30 a.m. north of Garfield Avenue, said California Highway Patrol Officer Francisco Villalobos. His name was withheld, pending family notification.

Two right lanes were blocked while an investigation was conducted into the circumstances of the crash, Villalobos said. One was reopened about 6:30 a.m. and the other was reopened a half hour later.
