A motorcycle collision on the Interstate 110 South near the W Gage Avenue off-ramp in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions late last night. The incident occurred around 11:23 PM when the motorcycle collided with an unknown vehicle, resulting in the motorcycle falling and blocking the High Occupancy Vehicle lane.
Emergency services, including the Los Angeles Fire Department, responded promptly to the scene. The motorcyclist was present but specific details regarding their injuries were not provided. Importantly, the driver of the green Hyundai SUV at the scene was confirmed to be uninvolved in the collision.
Due to the motorcycle blocking the HOV lane, traffic congestion quickly built up in the area. The motorcycle was determined to be non-drivable and required towing. A tow truck was called to assist in clearing the motorcycle from the roadway.
By 12:07 AM, the scene had been cleared, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. The swift response from emergency services helped mitigate further complications from the incident. However, motorists traveling on the Interstate 110 South experienced delays due to the collision and subsequent lane blockage.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision, particularly the unidentified vehicle involved. Motorists are reminded to exercise caution while driving, especially in high-traffic areas, and to remain aware of their surroundings to prevent similar incidents.
This incident highlights the importance of road safety and the need for all drivers to stay vigilant. The California Highway Patrol encourages anyone with additional information regarding this incident to come forward to assist in the ongoing investigation.
