CARSON, Calif. (KABC) -- 
 
All lanes of the northbound 110 Freeway near 223rd Street in Carson were shut down for several hours after a multiple-car crash early Sunday morning.

Two people were critically injured and eight suffered minor injuries in the crash. Authorities received the call around 3:40 a.m. Officials with the Los Angeles County Fire Department said 13 cars were involved in the collision.

One of the vehicles, a catering truck, had overturned. Four ambulances were requested at the scene, but it is unclear how many people were transported to a local hospital.
