A person was found dead on the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway in Palmdale Saturday, about 30 yards away from a two-vehicle collision.

The crash was reported at 4:36 a.m. on the Antelope Valley Freeway just south of East Palmdale Boulevard, the California Highway Patrol said.

A blue Honda Civic was found blocking the No. 1 lane, a white Tesla was in the center divider and a white charter bus was pulled over on the right shoulder after the collision, a witness told the CHP.

At first it appeared there were no injuries, and then the body was discovered lying in the No. 1 lane, authorities said.

The CHP stopped all northbound traffic and called for Caltrans to set up a hard closure for the duration of the investigation. Traffic was diverted from the freeway at Avenue S.
