A traffic collision involving a black BMW occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 5 near Sunland Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was reported around 1:43 PM, when the BMW spun out, causing its airbags to deploy. Two male occupants were inside the vehicle at the time of the collision.

Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, with firefighters and paramedics arriving shortly after the incident was reported. The occupants were transported to St. Joseph's Hospital for further evaluation, with the nature of their injuries remaining unknown.

Witnesses described a chaotic scene, with multiple family members running across the lanes of traffic, which complicated the response efforts.
