A multi-vehicle collision occurred early this morning on the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near Reseda Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA. The incident began around 3:27 AM when a black Chevrolet Camaro swerved and rear-ended another vehicle, leading to a chain reaction involving three to four vehicles.
Emergency services were alerted shortly after the collision, with units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) arriving at the scene by approximately 3:39 AM. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported; however, one individual was seen stumbling in the lanes, raising concerns about possible intoxication.
Witnesses indicated that the vehicles involved were racing just prior to the crash, which contributed to the reckless driving behavior observed. The black Camaro was found facing the wrong way in the middle lanes, while other vehicles were also impacted by the collision.
Traffic was temporarily affected as emergency responders worked to clear the scene. By 4:29 AM, all vehicles had been towed, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. During the response, one lane remained open for motorists, but the roadway was cleared shortly thereafter.
The CHP is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision and is urging anyone with additional information to come forward. Authorities emphasize the importance of safe driving practices and are committed to ensuring the safety of all motorists.
This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers associated with reckless driving and the need for vigilance on the road. Motorists are encouraged to report any suspicious driving behaviors to local authorities to help maintain public safety.
