A serious traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on State Route 14 northbound near Newhall Avenue in Santa Clarita, CA. The incident took place around 7:20 PM, resulting in injuries and the deployment of airbags in at least one vehicle.
The vehicles involved included a gray Honda HR-V and a red Ford Fusion, with the latter having an occupant who required medical attention. Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACOFD), responded quickly to the scene. The collision blocked the middle lanes of the highway, causing significant traffic disruption for motorists in the area.
Upon arrival, emergency responders confirmed that three vehicles were involved in the collision. The gray Honda HR-V and the red Ford Fusion were identified, while the third vehicle's details remain unknown. The CHP received notifications about the collision and dispatched units to assess the situation and provide assistance.
Due to the vehicles obstructing the middle lanes, a tow truck was requested to clear the roadway. The injured occupant from the red Ford Fusion was transferred to LACOFD for medical evaluation. By 7:33 PM, all vehicles were moved to the shoulder of the road, allowing traffic to resume more smoothly.
While the final disposition of the vehicles involved is not explicitly stated, it is likely that they were towed due to their blocking position and the nature of the incident.

This incident highlights the importance of road safety and the potential consequences of traffic collisions. The CHP continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident to ensure the safety of all road users.
