A high-speed traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred late last night on the southbound lanes of State Route 110 near York Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was reported around 11:24 PM and resulted in significant traffic disruption.
The collision began when a gray Infiniti Q50 struck another vehicle, blocking the slow lane of the highway. Eyewitness accounts indicated that the Infiniti was traveling at high speeds prior to the crash. The deployment of airbags in at least one vehicle suggested that injuries were likely, although the extent of these injuries has not been confirmed.
Emergency services, including the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) and California Highway Patrol (CHP), responded promptly to the scene. Multiple units were dispatched to manage the situation, and LAFD was called as a precaution due to the airbags deploying. At least one individual was reported to be still inside a vehicle when emergency responders arrived.
Traffic on the southbound State Route 110 was significantly impacted, leading to lane closures while emergency personnel worked to clear the area. A tow truck was also called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the collision. By 1:28 AM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision, particularly the high-speed behavior of the vehicles involved. Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as cleanup efforts were underway, and traffic patterns may still be affected.
This incident highlights the dangers of high-speed driving and the importance of road safety. The California Highway Patrol urges all drivers to adhere to speed limits and drive responsibly to prevent similar incidents in the future.
