A multi-vehicle collision occurred early this morning on the southbound lanes of Interstate 110, near the Interstate 10 East connector and the West 11th Street on-ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place around midnight and involved three vehicles: a black Nissan Pathfinder, a black Jeep, and an unidentified third vehicle.
According to initial reports, the driver of the Nissan Pathfinder was slowing down due to flares from a previous accident when they were rear-ended by the Jeep. Minor injuries were reported as a result of the collision, and one individual was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital for further evaluation.
Emergency services, including the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Los Angeles Police Department, responded promptly to the scene. Towing services were also called to remove the vehicles involved in the crash, allowing for the safe clearance of the roadway.
The far-right lane of the southbound Interstate 110 was blocked for a period due to the incident, leading to some traffic delays in the area. However, emergency crews worked quickly to manage the situation and restore normal traffic flow.
Authorities have initiated an investigation into the collision, with a focus on the potential involvement of driving under the influence. Motorists are reminded to exercise caution when driving in areas with prior accidents, as flares and other warning signals may indicate hazardous conditions ahead.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, particularly in adverse conditions or near accident scenes. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the details surrounding this incident and encourages anyone with additional information to come forward.
