A multi-vehicle collision occurred early this morning on the southbound lanes of Interstate 110 near the West Carson Street off-ramp in Carson, CA. The incident, reported at approximately 4:51 AM, involved three vehicles, including a green GMC van and a gray Toyota Camry.
The collision resulted in the GMC van overturning, blocking the middle lanes of the highway. Emergency services responded promptly, with the Los Angeles County Fire Department dispatched shortly after the initial report. Although there were no specific details regarding injuries, the vehicles were determined to be undrivable and required towing from the scene.
Traffic was significantly impacted as the overturned van obstructed the flow of vehicles. By 5:05 AM, all vehicles were reported to be on the roadside, allowing for some restoration of traffic flow. However, the middle lanes remained blocked for an extended period while tow trucks were called to assist with the removal of the vehicles.
The first tow truck was requested shortly after the collision, and emergency responders worked diligently to clear the scene. By 5:37 AM, the vehicles had been successfully towed away, and debris was being cleared. The final clearance of the scene was reported at approximately 6:46 AM, allowing traffic to resume normal operations.
Motorists traveling on the southbound Interstate 110 are advised to remain cautious and aware of potential delays in the area due to this incident. The California Highway Patrol is continuing to monitor the situation to ensure the safety of all drivers on the road.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and vigilance on the road, particularly during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced.
