A wreck in Ventura County killed one person, trapped another in a car and left another vehicle nearly unrecognizable Thursday afternoon on State Route 126, a highway the LA Times once called "Blood Alley."
The multi-car crash occurred just after 5 p.m., leaving traffic at a standstill in Piru near Center Street, Ventura County Fire confirmed.
Three cars collided, with one black vehicle left so completely mangled that it no longer resembled a car as paramedics worked to treat five patients.
At one point, a helicopter landed on SR 126 to help transport critical patients.
