A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred early this morning on the northbound lanes of Interstate 5, just north of the California Highway 134 West connector in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place around 3:34 AM and involved a gray sedan and a pickup truck, with the gray sedan being the primary vehicle involved.
The collision resulted in significant traffic disruption as both vehicles were blocking multiple lanes of the busy highway. Emergency services responded promptly, and a tow truck was requested shortly after the incident was reported. The driver of the gray sedan sustained injuries and was assisted to the roadside by a bystander while waiting for further medical assistance.
As the situation unfolded, traffic was severely impacted, with all lanes on the northbound side of Interstate 5 coming to a standstill. Reports indicated that the vehicles were blocking the second lane, causing delays for motorists traveling through the area. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) worked diligently to manage the scene and ensure the safety of all involved.
By 3:42 AM, traffic was reported to be at a complete stop from the Los Feliz exit as emergency responders worked to clear the roadway. The tow truck arrived shortly after to assist in removing the vehicles, although the final status of the vehicles has not been confirmed.
Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible, as the aftermath of the collision may continue to affect traffic flow. The CHP is investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and cautious while on the road, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. Stay tuned for more updates regarding traffic conditions and any potential road closures in the Los Angeles area.
