A wrong-way driver crashed into another vehicle on the southbound San Diego (405) Freeway in El Segundo, causing minor injuries and temporarily closing several freeway lanes, the California Highway Patrol reported.

The collision took place at El Segundo Boulevard about 4 a.m., CHP Officer Alex Rubio said.

The crash temporarily shut down the carpool lane and the number 1, 2, and 3 lanes, he said, prompting the CHP to declare a SigAlert.

The roadway was cleared at 5:09 a.m. and the SigAlert cancelled. The crash remains under investigation by the CHP.
