A multi-vehicle collision occurred early this morning on the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 near the Osborne Street off-ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place around 1:59 AM and involved three vehicles: a black Volkswagen Beetle, a black GMC truck, and an unidentified vehicle. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where both the Volkswagen and GMC sustained significant damage and were not drivable. The collision blocked the slow lane, causing traffic disruptions for motorists in the area.

Towing services were called to remove the damaged vehicles from the roadway. The Volkswagen Beetle, which suffered major front-end damage, was towed away, followed by the GMC truck, which had severe damage to its right rear. The unidentified vehicle involved in the incident was also noted but lacked specific details.

As a result of the collision, traffic was temporarily halted in all lanes, creating a backlog for drivers. Authorities worked diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow.

Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling through this area, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. Updates on traffic conditions can be monitored through local news outlets and traffic apps.
