Two people are dead and a third is critically hurt after slamming into the rear of a big-rig on U.S. Highway 101 west of Los Angeles.
The California Highway Patrol says the pre-dawn crash shut down northbound lanes for about an hour.
Southbound traffic was halted briefly while a helicopter landed on the highway to airlifted the injured person to a hospital.
Television helicopter cameras showed the wreckage of a silver car wedged underneath the rear of the big-rig trailer, which was apparently parked on the shoulder at the time of the crash.
The 4:40 a.m. crash occurred just past the Kanan Road exit near Reyes Adobe Road, backing up morning commuter traffic and holiday getaway travelers getting an early start for the Fourth of July weekend.

As all you Californians know, we have had a series of bad storms over the past week. Now this is nothing new to Northern Californians, but Southern Californians are definitely not used to the rain and snow.
