One person suffered major injuries in a Wednesday morning crash in Murrieta involving several vehicles, police said.

The crash was reported shortly before 7:30 a.m. at Washington Avenue and Calle Del Oso Oro, Lt. Tony Conrad said in a news release. Police arrived to find a woman trapped in her vehicle with major injuries and several other drivers with moderate injuries.

The crash scene, involving six vehicles, extended along Washington from Calle Del Oso Oro to Jerry Allen Lane, Conrad said. It appears that the driver of an eastbound Ford F250 experienced a medical issue as he made a turn from Calle Del Oso Oro to southbound Washington Avenue. The truck hit five other vehicles before coming to rest on the wrong side of the road, Conrad said.

Authorities ask that anyone who witnessed the crash call the police department’s traffic division at 951-461-6302
