A vehicle crash triggered a small wildfire Saturday on Angeles Crest Highway just north of La Cañada Flintridge, authorities said.
Firefighters and paramedics were dispatched at 9:05 a.m. to Angeles Crest Highway, at Mile Marker 30.65, where paramedics rushed one person to a hospital, according to a Los Angeles County Fire Department dispatcher.
The vehicle went over the side of the road, igniting a one-acre wildfire that was knocked down at 10 a.m., fire and law enforcement officials said.
That person’s condition was not immediately known.
The small wildfire is under an inversion on Angeles Crest Highway, according to fire officials.
