A minor traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred early this morning on Interstate 210 West near La Tuna Canyon Road in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place at approximately 5:23 AM, when a white Nissan Sentra collided with a semi-truck while traveling in the slow lane.
Following the collision, the driver of the Nissan was seen walking in the lanes, indicating that no serious injuries were sustained. Emergency services were quickly notified, and units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) responded promptly to the scene.
As emergency crews arrived, traffic was halted to ensure the safety of all individuals involved and to facilitate the removal of the vehicles. The Nissan Sentra was towed from the scene, while the semi-truck was likely drivable despite its involvement in the incident.

This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. Fortunately, the quick response from emergency services ensured that the situation was managed efficiently, minimizing the impact on traffic and preventing any serious injuries.
