A vehicle accident occurred early this morning on the Artesia Boulevard on-ramp to westbound State Route 91 in Cerritos, California. The incident was reported at approximately 1:59 AM when emergency services were dispatched to the scene after a vehicle went off the road and into a ditch.
Upon arrival, emergency units confirmed that only one vehicle was involved in the incident, which had become lodged in a difficult position for recovery. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported. The quick response from emergency services helped to ensure the situation was managed effectively.
Recovery efforts were complicated due to the vehicle's position in the ditch, requiring specialized towing equipment. A rotator tow truck was called to the scene to assist with the extraction. As of the latest updates, the vehicle remained in the ditch, and efforts to recover it were ongoing.
The incident caused some traffic disruption on the Artesia Boulevard on-ramp, and motorists in the area were advised to exercise caution. Emergency crews worked diligently to navigate the recovery process, which was challenging due to the angle at which the vehicle had come to rest.
