A serious traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred late last night on the northbound lanes of Interstate 110 near South Century Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 10:55 PM, resulting in the overturning of a black Honda Accord. Emergency services, including multiple units from the California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles Fire Department, were dispatched promptly to the scene.
The collision caused significant traffic disruptions, leading to the closure of the northbound lanes from 11:00 PM until around 1:00 AM. A hazardous materials response team was called in due to a fuel spill from the overturned vehicle, which created unsafe conditions on the freeway.
Despite the traffic closures, multiple vehicles breached the barriers around 1:00 AM, complicating the emergency response efforts. By 6:00 AM, the situation was under control, and officials anticipated that the lanes would soon reopen to traffic.
Tragically, serious injuries were reported as a result of the collision, prompting the notification of the coroner's office. The other vehicles involved in the incident included a silver Toyota Camry and a white Toyota Highlander, both of which were also towed from the scene.
The California Highway Patrol is urging drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic regulations, especially following such incidents. The investigation into the cause of the collision is ongoing, and authorities are working to ensure that the affected area is safe for motorists.
As traffic resumes, drivers are advised to exercise caution and be aware of potential delays as cleanup operations continue. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
