A Los Angeles police officer was killed Sunday morning in a traffic accident on Highway 101, officials said.

The accident occurred around 3:30 a.m. in the Hollywood area when Detective George Selleh, 52, collided his motorcycle into a disabled car.

Selleh, who was on his way to a movie set where he was providing security when the accident occurred, died at the scene.

At least 10 other drivers also swerved to miss the car and became involved in the accident.

The entire southbound side of the freeway remained closed late Sunday afternoon.

A 29-year veteran of the LAPD, Selleh is survived by his wife, a 20-year-old son and an 18-year-old daughter.
