DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Want to show you some live pictures we're getting in from Southern California. A terrible traffic accident which has resulted in one death, but it also is going to be a huge traffic mess for commuters in Southern California, where at 7:22 and the height of traffic area right.

We're looking at the 710, that's the Long Beach Freeway. Do we still have those pictures we can put back up? KEVC (ph) bringing us these pictures. The 710, the Long Beach Freeway, apparently a tractor trailer truck crashed through the center divider of the Long Beach Freeway, and it crashed into rush hour traffic. So far we are hearing at least one person has been killed, 15 others injured, and officials believe there are a number of cars trapped underneath that tractor trailer.

Once again, that's the 710 freeway in Southern California. The Long Beach Freeway. A lot of folks using that to get into downtown Los Angeles.

We'll continue to track that situation and bring you more pictures and information as we get it.
