A portion of the westbound 134 Freeway was completely closed Sunday morning after a crash involving a wrong-way driver that killed two people.
The crash was first reported at 8:29 a.m. on Highway 134 near the San Rafael Boulevard exit ramp in Pasadena, west of the interchange with Highway 210, a CHP spokesperson said.
A spokesperson confirmed that at least four vehicles were involved in the collision.

Two people were killed in the crash, Pasadena city spokeswoman Lisa Dederian said. The other three people were rushed to a nearby hospital, Dederian added.
Footage from the scene taken by KTLA shows multiple vehicles destroyed and debris strewn across all lanes of the road.
At least one vehicle was seen heading in the opposite direction, but it was unclear whether that vehicle was the one originally traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes.
