A crash on the Ventura Freeway on Tuesday morning knocked a car off the freeway where it landed upside down and seriously injured the driver, authorities said.

The unidentified person was extracted from the car and taken to a local hospital along with a second motorist involved in the collision and whose vehicle remained on the freeway, said Ron Myers, Los Angeles City Fire Department spokesman.

The second driver was not in critical condition.

The collision happened around 8:32 a.m. on the westbound freeway near Shoup Avenue.
