A traffic collision involving two sedans occurred early this morning on the northbound lanes of the 110 Freeway in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 2:22 AM and quickly escalated, leading to significant roadway blockage and a response from emergency services.
At 2:25 AM, it was confirmed that both vehicles, a black Toyota sedan and a white Toyota sedan, were obstructing the transition lane on a blind curve. Emergency units were dispatched shortly thereafter, arriving on the scene at 2:33 AM. The situation was serious enough that all lanes were held for safety at 2:34 AM, ensuring that no further accidents could occur while responders managed the scene.
During the incident, airbags deployed in one of the vehicles, suggesting that the occupants may have sustained injuries, although no specific injuries have been confirmed. The collision also resulted in damage to the guardrail, prompting notification to CALTRANS regarding the scuff marks along the concrete barrier.
By 2:46 AM, a towing service was requested to remove the vehicles from the roadway. Emergency units worked diligently to clear the area, and by 3:33 AM, the scene was deemed safe, allowing for the reopening of the lanes.
Motorists traveling on the northbound 110 Freeway should be aware of the potential for delays during the early morning hours due to this incident. The quick response from emergency services helped to mitigate the situation, and both vehicles were successfully towed from the scene without further complications.
The California Highway Patrol reminds drivers to exercise caution, especially in areas with blind curves and heavy traffic. Staying alert and driving safely can help prevent accidents and ensure the safety of all road users.
