A serious multi-vehicle collision occurred early this morning on the southbound lanes of Interstate 110 at the interchange with Interstate 105 in Los Angeles, CA. The incident involved five vehicles and began with a hit-and-run collision at approximately 2:43 AM. This led to one vehicle overturning and blocking traffic, creating a hazardous situation for early morning drivers.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, with firefighters and law enforcement arriving shortly after the incident was reported. By 2:45 AM, the overturned dark-colored pickup truck had landed back on its wheels but continued to obstruct the slow lane of traffic.

By 3:31 AM, two of the three lanes had reopened, while the third and fourth lanes remained blocked to facilitate the towing process.
By 3:59 AM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. The extent of injuries from the incident remains unclear, but the prompt response from emergency services ensured that the situation was managed effectively, minimizing further complications for motorists.
