A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a black Jeep and a purple motorcycle, occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 105 near Main Street in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place around 4:04 PM, resulting in the motorcycle being down and the rider on the ground.
Emergency services, including the Los Angeles Fire Department, responded promptly to the scene. A good Samaritan assisted the rider while waiting for professional help. The motorcycle was deemed undriveable due to the collision and required towing from the scene. The condition of the black Jeep was not specified, but it is presumed to be drivable since no towing was requested for that vehicle.

The Los Angeles Fire Department arrived shortly after the incident was reported, with first responders on the scene by 4:06 PM. By 4:14 PM, it was confirmed that a good Samaritan had provided assistance to the rider.
A tow truck was called to remove the motorcycle, which was completed by 4:45 PM. The scene was cleared by the Freeway Service Patrol by 5:09 PM, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Fortunately, there were no reports of severe injuries to the motorcycle rider, although they were on the ground at the time of the emergency response. The quick actions of both the good Samaritan and emergency services helped ensure the rider received the necessary assistance promptly.
Motorists are reminded to exercise caution when driving in the area, especially during peak traffic hours, and to be aware of their surroundings to prevent similar incidents. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
