A significant traffic incident occurred today on the westbound lanes of State Route 134 at the Interstate 5 South interchange in Glendale, CA. The collision involved multiple vehicles and was caused by a fallen tree that obstructed the roadway. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where good Samaritans were seen attempting to move the tree from the traffic lanes.
At approximately 7:13 PM, reports indicated that a large tree had fallen, creating a hazardous situation for drivers. By 8:25 PM, the California Highway Patrol classified the situation as a traffic collision with unknown injuries, confirming that at least one vehicle, identified as a black Kia Sportage, sustained significant damage.
