A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on the eastbound side of State Route 134, near South Buena Vista Drive in Burbank, CA, blocking the express lanes and prompting an immediate response from emergency services. The incident involved three vehicles: a gray Toyota Highlander, a white Toyota Tacoma, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The collision was reported at approximately 5:53 PM, with initial reports indicating that the gray Toyota Highlander was involved in a crash with the other two vehicles. All three vehicles ended up obstructing traffic in the express lanes.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported that required medical transport. Emergency responders, including the Los Angeles Fire Department and Burbank Fire Department, arrived on the scene to assess the situation. There was a report of a second collision occurring behind the initial crash; however, no injuries were noted from that incident either.
By 6:01 PM, authorities confirmed that all parties involved were safe and on the roadside. The vehicles were assessed and deemed likely drivable, which eliminated the need for towing services. This allowed for a more efficient resolution to the traffic disruption caused by the collision.
Drivers in the area experienced delays as emergency services worked to clear the scene, but the situation was managed effectively. The express lanes were blocked for a brief period, but traffic was gradually restored as the vehicles were moved to the side.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and cautious on the roads, especially in high-traffic areas. The California Highway Patrol encourages motorists to adhere to traffic laws and drive safely to prevent accidents.
