A hit-and-run incident occurred today on the southbound lanes of State Route 110 near Avenue 43 in Los Angeles, California, involving a stalled sport utility vehicle (SUV) that blocked traffic. The incident began around 12:43 PM when the SUV became undriveable, leaving the driver unable to exit the freeway.
As the SUV stalled in the third lane, it caused significant disruption, prompting other vehicles to navigate around it. A nearby Toyota Prius also became stranded in the same lane, complicating the traffic situation. Witnesses reported that the driver of the SUV was advised multiple times to stop the following vehicle, leading to the hit-and-run scenario.
By 12:52 PM, emergency services arrived on the scene, holding all lanes to manage the situation. Traffic was temporarily halted as responders worked to push the SUV to the right shoulder of the freeway. The vehicle was successfully removed from the roadway by 1:07 PM, allowing traffic to resume.
Fortunately, there were no reported injuries associated with this incident. However, the blockage caused delays for motorists traveling through this busy area. Authorities remind drivers to remain vigilant and report any stalled vehicles to prevent similar incidents in the future.
