A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the eastbound lanes of State Route 60 near the Atlantic Boulevard off-ramp in East Los Angeles, CA. The incident involved a blue Hyundai Sonata and an Amazon delivery truck.
At approximately 11:05 PM, the Amazon truck lost two tires, which caused it to collide with the Hyundai Sonata. The impact left the Sonata undriveable, and the driver was unable to exit the vehicle, indicating a potential need for medical evaluation. While the report does not confirm any injuries, the situation raised concerns for the driver's safety.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles County Fire Department, quickly responded to the scene to manage the situation and assist those involved. The collision resulted in debris blocking the #2 lane of the highway, leading to significant traffic disruption in the area.
Witnesses noted that the Amazon truck lost two tires prior to the collision, contributing to the incident. As emergency responders worked to clear the scene, a tow truck was requested for the Hyundai Sonata, which remained inoperable. The status of the Amazon truck was not immediately clear.
Traffic was severely impacted as all eastbound lanes of State Route 60 were stopped due to the blockage. Motorists in the area were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays. The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision.
