A worker was killed on the 71 Freeway in San Bernardino County Monday morning.

The worker, whose identity has not been released, was killed on the northbound freeway near South Euclid Avenue, just north of the Butterfield Ranch area of Chino, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Aerial footage from Sky5 showed a box truck that crashed through a guardrail and into a wooded area alongside the freeway, and a white van appeared to have sustained significant damage from a collision.

How that collision occurred, however, remains to be seen.

As of about 12:30 p.m., northbound traffic was limited to the HOV lane, as the Nos. 1 and 2 lanes were closed for the investigation.
