A person was killed Sunday morning in a crash on Interstate 5 opposite Mission Bay Park.

The crash on the northbound freeway, south of Clairemont Drive, occurred at 5:50 a.m., the California Highway Patrol reported.

With details still sketchy, authorities said the crash may have involved an SUV spinning out of control and smashing into the center divider, prompting that vehicle to smash into at least three to four other vehicles.
