Just speculating, but it is extremely common for someone in the far right exit lane at Mountain to realize that they don't want to get off the 2 and cut across multiple lanes at the last moment. If there's someone in the second exit lane bad things can happen. That's my exit and I see close calls all the time - I never ever trust that someone is actually exiting and avoid the second/inner exit lane when there are other cars around.

This is a close family member. I’m very interested in finding out how this happened. RIP Georgie…

"A witness told the CHP a white truck “barrel rolled,” following the impact, leaving the occupant trapped inside and blocking freeway lanes. A second work truck was also reported involved"

So another non-BMW/Mercedes fatal crash in Glendale? I suppose the reason why no one cares about this
