LOS ANGELES — Authorities have identified the woman who tragically lost her life in a rollover crash on a Glenn Anderson (105) Freeway off-ramp in Westchester near Los Angeles International Airport. The victim was 30-year-old Jasmine Blackwell, county officials confirmed Tuesday.
The fatal crash was reported around 6:13 p.m. Sunday on the Sepulveda Boulevard off-ramp from the westbound 105 Freeway, according to the California Highway Patrol. Investigators say the vehicle carrying Blackwell left the roadway and rolled over, though the exact circumstances of the crash remain under review.
Emergency crews responded quickly, but Blackwell was pronounced dead at the scene. Margaret Stewart, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Fire Department, confirmed the details of her passing. A male passenger was also involved in the crash and was ejected from the vehicle during the rollover. He was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital, though his current condition has not been released.
The California Highway Patrol issued a SigAlert shortly after the crash, at 6:39 p.m., leading to the closure of the westbound 105 Freeway at Sepulveda Boulevard. The closure caused heavy traffic delays in the area as investigators worked to process the scene and determine what led to the tragic accident.
Blackwell’s sudden death has left friends, family, and community members devastated. While officials have not released further details about her background, her loss is being mourned by those who knew her best. Loved ones are remembering her life cut short, even as authorities continue to gather information about the circumstances that led to the rollover.
The CHP has not yet stated whether factors such as speed, impairment, or roadway conditions contributed to the crash. The investigation remains ongoing, and officials are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact them with information. For now, Blackwell is being remembered as the victim of a heartbreaking accident that has left a lasting mark on those closest to her.
