All southbound lanes of the 710 Freeway have been closed at Imperial Highway following a fatal accident, a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman said.

Officials responded to the scene around 8 p.m. and issued a SigAlert about half an hour later. CHP Officer Monica Posada said one lane probably would be opened by about 9:30 p.m.

Posada said officers were there and coroner’s officials were on the way, but she could not immediately provide additional details about the accident.
