A multi-vehicle collision involving five vehicles occurred today on the southbound Interstate 110 at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place around 9:20 AM and involved a dark gray Tesla SUV, a black sedan, and a tow truck, among others. Fortunately, no significant injuries were reported, and emergency services responded promptly to the scene.
The collision began at approximately 9:11 AM when multiple vehicles were involved in a traffic collision that blocked both the fast track and slow lanes. As the situation escalated, the dark gray Tesla SUV collided with a tow truck, further complicating the traffic flow. By 9:18 AM, the Los Angeles Fire Department was dispatched to the scene as a precaution, although it was later confirmed that no ambulance was needed.
Traffic was significantly impacted, with the fast track and slow lanes blocked for a considerable time. The California Highway Patrol reported that the express lane would be closed from Flower Express Lane, and motorists were advised to access the area from 39th Street. Tow trucks were requested to assist in clearing the vehicles involved in the collision.
By 10:13 AM, all vehicles were successfully removed from the freeway, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. The final disposition of the vehicles involved was not explicitly stated, but they were likely towed or made drivable, as they were reported off the freeway shortly after the incident.
The California Highway Patrol urges drivers to exercise caution and patience when navigating through busy areas, especially during peak traffic hours. Staying alert and following traffic regulations can help prevent accidents and ensure the safety of all road users.
