A multi-vehicle collision occurred early today on the northbound lanes of US Highway 101 near the Interstate 405 interchange in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was first reported at approximately 12:19 AM and involved four vehicles, including a gray Tesla, a blue Jeep, and two sedans.

Initial reports indicated that the gray Tesla was blocking the middle lanes, with the driver uncertain about what had caused the incident, suggesting a possible spin-out. By 12:22 AM, emergency responders confirmed that multiple vehicles were involved, with airbags deployed in at least one vehicle.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) responded promptly to the scene, deploying multiple units to manage the situation. Tow trucks were requested shortly after the initial report, with three tow trucks ultimately called to assist in clearing the vehicles from the roadway.

At 12:46 AM, LAFD reported the discovery of another vehicle on the eastbound side of US Highway 101, which may have been involved in the same collision. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in connection with this incident, and emergency services worked efficiently to clear the scene.

By 12:59 AM, emergency units began to clear the area, allowing traffic to resume. The disabled Tesla remained in the middle lanes until tow trucks arrived to remove it, while the other vehicles were also likely towed.

Motorists traveling in the area during the incident experienced some traffic disruption due to lane closures, but the swift response from emergency services helped minimize delays. The CHP continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.

This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and cautious on the roads, especially during late-night hours when visibility may be reduced.
