A hit-and-run incident involving four vehicles occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 105 near Bellflower Boulevard in Downey, CA. The collision, which took place around 6:18 AM, involved a dark gray Buick Encore, a white Subaru, a silver Honda Accord, and a yellow/gold Hummer that fled the scene.
Fortunately, there were no reported injuries resulting from the incident. Emergency services, including California Highway Patrol units, quickly responded to the scene to manage the situation and ensure the safety of all motorists. While the specific condition of each vehicle was not detailed, the nature of the incident suggests that some vehicles may have sustained damage requiring towing.
Witnesses indicated that the yellow/gold Hummer was the vehicle responsible for the collision but did not stop to provide assistance or exchange information with the other drivers involved. The California Highway Patrol classified the incident as a hit-and-run due to the Hummer's failure to remain at the scene.
As emergency responders worked to clear the roadway, debris from the collision was reported in the first lane, which may have caused temporary traffic disruptions. However, the swift action of the California Highway Patrol helped to minimize any significant delays for other drivers on the busy freeway.
Motorists traveling in the area are advised to remain cautious and watch for any ongoing cleanup efforts. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the incident and is seeking any additional witnesses who may have seen the yellow/gold Hummer or the events leading up to the collision.
