Fiery Crash Shuts Down Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu Near Nicholas Canyon Collision and Vehicle Fire Leads to Helicopter Evacuation of Injured Driver
A two-car traffic accident resulted in the destruction of both vehicles, leading to the closure of a section of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in Malibu on Tuesday afternoon. The incident unfolded in the 34300 block of the highway, prompting the closure of all lanes around 1:20 p.m., as announced on the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station Facebook. The scene was cleared, and PCH was reopened by 2:57 p.m. Upon arrival at the scene around 12:10 p.m., Los Angeles County Fire reported that at least one of the vehicles involved was engulfed in flames. The severity of the crash led to the closure of PCH lanes, causing disruption in the area. Emergency responders, including the Los Angeles County Fire, swiftly intervened. One person, whose current condition remains
unknown, was airlifted to the hospital via helicopter for medical attention.
The temporary shutdown, initiated near Nicholas Canyon in western Malibu, was a
result of the collision, vehicle fire, and the helicopter evacuation of an injured driver.
