A hit-and-run incident occurred late last night on Interstate 10 East near La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA, involving at least two vehicles—a black SUV and a white Jeep. The incident was reported at approximately 10:46 PM, prompting a rapid response from emergency services.
The black SUV, which was involved in the hit-and-run, stalled in the number one lane of the freeway. The driver exited the vehicle and was later seen at a nearby laundromat. By 11:12 PM, a white Jeep with its hazard lights activated was also blocking the same lane, creating further complications for traffic.
Emergency services arrived on the scene at around 11:28 PM to manage the situation and hold traffic. A tow truck was requested to remove the vehicles from the roadway. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the incident, and both vehicles were towed away without any indication of severe damage.
The quick response from emergency personnel helped to minimize potential traffic disruptions, although the initial blockage caused some delays for drivers on the busy freeway. The situation was resolved efficiently, with both vehicles removed and traffic returning to normal shortly thereafter.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the hit-and-run aspect of the incident, seeking information about the driver of the black SUV who fled the scene. Motorists are reminded to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity on the roadways.
This incident highlights the importance of road safety and the need for drivers to adhere to traffic laws. The California Highway Patrol encourages anyone with information regarding this incident to come forward.
