A serious traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred late last night on the northbound lanes of Interstate 5, near the transition to State Route 118 in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place at approximately 11:51 PM when two vehicles were reportedly racing, resulting in a crash that caused one vehicle to overturn.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where a white sedan, a silver vehicle, and an unknown vehicle were involved. Multiple individuals sustained unknown injuries, and the overturned vehicle was found on its roof, emitting smoke. Debris from the collision was scattered across the lanes, creating a hazardous situation for other drivers.
Traffic was significantly impacted as emergency crews worked to clear the area.
