A traffic collision involving two dark-colored vehicles occurred today on the transition road from northbound Interstate 5 to northbound State Route 110 in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 10:11 PM, when one vehicle crashed into a tree, while the other came to a stop on the roadside.
Fortunately, the reporting party confirmed that there were no injuries resulting from the collision. Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), were promptly notified to respond to the scene. The CHP initially categorized the situation as a traffic collision with unknown injuries but later confirmed that an ambulance was en route as a precaution.
Due to the vehicles obstructing traffic, the transition road was closed to facilitate towing operations. A tow truck was requested for the non-drivable vehicle, which had its hazard lights activated. Inter City Towing was dispatched to the scene, with an estimated arrival time of one hour. However, complications arose as the towing company reported difficulties accessing the transition road due to traffic conditions.
By 11:44 PM, it became clear that the towing service had not yet arrived, prompting further communication between the CHP and the towing company to ascertain an updated estimated time of arrival. The towing company indicated they were on the other side of downtown, which delayed their arrival.
Authorities continued to manage the scene and ensure the safety of other motorists while waiting for the tow truck to arrive. Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the area and seek alternate routes until the transition road is cleared. The CHP will provide updates as the situation develops and the roadway is reopened to traffic.
