A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 South near Osborne Street in Los Angeles, CA, at approximately 2:36 PM. The incident involved a red sedan and a white SUV, both of which became disabled as a result of the crash. Emergency services, including the Los Angeles Fire Department, responded promptly to the scene due to reports of unknown injuries, particularly concerning children.

Upon arrival, emergency responders found both vehicles blocking one and a half lanes of traffic, causing significant disruptions. The situation required immediate attention as crews worked to assess the scene and provide assistance.

By 2:49 PM, all lanes of traffic were stopped while emergency crews managed the situation. The roadway was cleared by 2:51 PM, allowing traffic to resume, although auxiliary lanes remained in use for safety.

A tow truck was requested to remove the white SUV, which had sustained damage, and an additional tow truck was needed for the red sedan. Fortunately, the roadway was fully reopened shortly after the incident was resolved, allowing for the normal flow of traffic to continue.

Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area and stay updated on traffic conditions as the situation develops.
