A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred early this morning on the southbound Interstate 5 freeway near the 110 interchange in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place at approximately 2:03 AM, when a white vehicle collided with the concrete divider and subsequently struck the right shoulder wall. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the crash.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where they confirmed that the white vehicle involved was stolen. A semi-truck was also part of the incident, which led to temporary lane closures as emergency responders worked to manage the situation.
