One person, in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, was airlifted from the scene, while the other individual sustained minor injuries, as reported by ABC 7. Nothing further is known about the injured victims at this time.  

The accident caused the LASD to close the eastbound lanes of PCH at Las Flores Cyn due to an overturned vehicle around 9:28 p.m. Las Flores Canyon is just to the east of the area of PCH known as “Dead Man’s Curve.”
