A 20-year-old woman was killed Thursday and two people were hospitalized in a two-vehicle collision near Studio City.

Officers from the California Highway Patrol responded at 2:05 a.m. to the collision at the transition from the southbound Hollywood (101) Freeway and the eastbound Ventura (134) Freeway, CHP Officer Ramon Kendricks told City News Service.

One of the vehicles ended up on the Tujunga Avenue off ramp and video footage showed another was severely damaged and appeared torn in half.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, Kendricks said.

CBS 2 reported the victim was a Pasadena resident.

ABC 7 reported two victims were taken to the hospital in unknown conditions.

The collision closed the Tujunga off ramp and traffic was diverted from the 101 Freeway to the 134 Freeway for several hours. It was unknown if drugs or alcohol were factors in the collision.

Kendricks said the cause of the crash is under investigation.
