TUJUNGA (CNS) - A man died Friday when a car crashed into a mostly dry flood-control channel in Tujunga.

The crash occurred about 3:10 p.m. in the 6300 block of West La Tuna Canyon Road, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.


According to the LAFD's Brian Humphrey, one man in the vehicle was ejected and died at the scene. Two other men were able to exit the vehicle on their own before firefighters arrived, he said.

Those two men were taken by ambulance to a hospital with non-life- threatening injuries.

Fire crews removed the vehicle from the roughly 4-foot-wide flood control channel. It was unclear if the rain played a role in the crash.
