A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred this morning on the eastbound side of State Route 60 near the Whittier Boulevard off-ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 6:37 AM when a white sedan collided with a guard rail. Shortly thereafter, it was confirmed that a second vehicle, a brown sedan, was also involved, with the white sedan blocking the slow lane.
Emergency services, including multiple units from the Los Angeles Fire Department, arrived on the scene at 6:49 AM to manage the situation. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision. The quick response from emergency personnel ensured the safety of other motorists in the area.
By 7:33 AM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
