LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Sept. 25, 2023) – Jarrett Townsend, 42, died in a crash on the Interstate 405 Freeway at North Mulholland Drive early Thursday morning in the Bel Air area.
The drivers of a semi truck and a Volkswagen Beetle were involved in the 4:42 a.m. collision, according to the California Highway Patrol report.
