A traffic incident involving a single vehicle occurred today on the southbound lanes of US Highway 101 near North Alameda Street in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place around 9:52 PM when a white Toyota Corolla was left abandoned by its male driver, who fled the scene after reportedly driving recklessly. Two females remained with the vehicle as emergency services responded.

The abandoned Toyota Corolla was left facing sideways, blocking the high-occupancy vehicle lane, which caused traffic disruptions in the area. The California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles Fire Department were dispatched to manage the situation. A tow truck was called to remove the vehicle from the roadway.

During the response, it was reported that one of the females claimed the vehicle had been stolen, although this could not be immediately verified. The driver was seen running away from the scene prior to the arrival of authorities.

By 10:26 PM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. The status of any injuries related to the incident remains unknown. Motorists are advised to exercise caution when driving in the area and to report any suspicious activity to local authorities.
