A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred on Interstate 405 North near Bel Air Crest Road in Los Angeles, CA, late last night. The incident took place around 11:20 PM and involved a UPS semi-truck, a black Honda Pilot, and another unidentified vehicle.
The collision began when one vehicle lost control and struck the Honda Pilot, which then led to the involvement of the semi-truck. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries among the drivers or passengers involved in the crash. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene to ensure the safety of all parties.
As the situation unfolded, the UPS semi-truck ended up on the right shoulder of the highway, while the other two vehicles were blocking the first lane. Traffic was temporarily impacted as responders worked to clear the roadway. However, the efficient response from emergency personnel allowed for the roadway to be cleared shortly after the incident.
At approximately 11:28 PM, a tow truck was requested to assist with the situation. By 11:30 PM, the request was canceled as it was determined that all vehicles were either drivable or could be cleared from the scene without the need for towing. This swift resolution minimized further traffic disruption and allowed motorists to resume their journeys.
The California Highway Patrol reminds drivers to remain vigilant and exercise caution while on the road, especially in conditions that could lead to loss of vehicle control. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices to prevent accidents.
