A solo vehicle collision occurred early this morning on the connector from State Route 134 East to U.S. Highway 101 South in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place at approximately 4:24 AM when a gray Toyota Camry lost control, struck the left shoulder wall, and ended up on its side, blocking one lane of traffic.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where the airbags deployed upon impact. Witnesses reported that the occupants of the vehicle fled the scene shortly after the collision. The California Highway Patrol classified the incident as having injuries, although specific details regarding the injuries were not provided.
As a result of the collision, one lane was partially obstructed, leading to potential traffic delays for early morning commuters. The vehicle was determined to be non-drivable and required towing. A tow truck was dispatched to the scene to remove the vehicle.
By 4:32 AM, emergency responders noted that the vehicle was blocking the first lane, and efforts were made to manage the traffic flow in the area. The incident was categorized as a traffic collision with an ambulance en route, indicating that emergency medical services were on standby in case any injuries were reported.
The California Highway Patrol worked to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions. Motorists were advised to exercise caution when traveling through the area, as residual traffic impacts may continue until the roadway is fully cleared.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, particularly during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. Authorities encourage all drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent similar accidents in the future.
