A hit-and-run incident involving three vehicles occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 105 at Studebaker Road in Norwalk, California. The collision involved a white Econoline van, a gray Honda CR-V, and a silver sedan, resulting in significant damage to both the gray Honda CR-V and the white Econoline van. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries from the incident.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene around 9:29 PM. The California Highway Patrol was dispatched to manage the situation. The white Econoline van was towed from the scene due to the extent of the damage, while the driver of the gray Honda CR-V was able to drive their vehicle away.
Witnesses reported that the collision occurred in the high-occupancy vehicle lane, where the white Econoline van collided with the gray Honda CR-V, which then impacted the silver sedan. The crash caused some disruption on the on-ramp to the westbound lanes of Interstate 105, but traffic was able to resume relatively quickly after the vehicles were cleared.
In a concerning development, it was reported that the driver of the Honda CR-V had a hammer and allegedly smashed the windshield of another vehicle involved in the incident. However, no further escalation occurred, and emergency services were able to manage the situation without additional complications.
As the investigation continues, authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward. The California Highway Patrol is working diligently to gather all relevant details and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
