A multi-vehicle collision occurred early this morning on the southbound lanes of US Highway 101 in Los Angeles, CA, involving three sedans. The incident took place at approximately 1:42 AM on October 31, 2024, when a blue sedan, reportedly traveling at high speeds, collided with a gray sedan, which then led to the involvement of a black sedan.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, with an ambulance arriving shortly after the incident was reported. While specific injuries were not detailed in the reports, the presence of multiple individuals outside their vehicles suggests that there may have been injuries. The collision resulted in the middle lanes of the highway being blocked, causing significant traffic disruption.
Witnesses indicated that the blue sedan was speeding prior to the crash, raising concerns about the safety of all drivers and passengers involved. The blockage of the middle lanes posed a risk to other motorists, as individuals were seen walking in the lanes following the crash.
As emergency responders worked to manage the situation, a tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the damaged vehicles. Due to the extent of the blockage, additional towing services were called to the location. The final disposition of the vehicles is not specified, but it is likely that they were towed away to clear the roadway.
Motorists traveling on US Highway 101 should be aware of potential delays as the aftermath of the collision is addressed. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the incident further to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the crash.
This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of speeding and the importance of safe driving practices. Authorities encourage all drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to speed limits to prevent similar accidents in the future.
