A multi-vehicle collision occurred this morning on the eastbound lanes of the Interstate 210 freeway near Hubbard Street in Los Angeles, CA. The incident involved four vehicles: a semi-truck, a white work truck, a gray SUV, and a green compact vehicle. The collision was reported at approximately 7:02 AM.
Emergency services were promptly notified, and both the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) responded to the scene. Upon arrival, responders found the semi-truck blocking traffic in the slow lane, which led to a request for towing services to clear the roadway.
By 8:15 AM, the situation had improved significantly. The semi-truck was moved to the right shoulder, and the need for heavy towing was canceled, indicating that the vehicles involved were likely drivable or had been cleared from the roadway. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries associated with the collision, although the report categorized the injuries as "unknown."
The incident caused some disruption to traffic flow, particularly in the affected lanes, but emergency crews worked efficiently to manage the situation and minimize delays. Multiple units from both the CHP and LAFD were dispatched to ensure the safety of all motorists and facilitate the clearing of the scene.
As of now, all vehicles have been accounted for, and the freeway is expected to return to normal traffic conditions shortly. Motorists are advised to remain cautious while driving in the area, as emergency responders may still be present to ensure the safety of the roadway.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially in busy urban areas like Los Angeles. The CHP encourages all drivers to stay alert and follow traffic regulations to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of everyone on the road.
