A hit-and-run incident involving three vehicles occurred early this morning on the southbound lanes of Interstate 5, near the Interstate 710 South connector in Los Angeles, CA. The collision took place at approximately 2:11 AM and involved a black Nissan Altima, a gray Toyota Corolla, and a semi-truck that left the scene shortly after the accident.

Emergency services responded quickly, and it was determined that the Nissan Altima was drivable, allowing it to leave the area without requiring towing. The gray Toyota Corolla remained at the scene for further assessment. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported from the incident.

As a result of the collision, all lanes were temporarily stopped under the Interstate 710 overpass, causing a brief traffic disruption. The situation was resolved swiftly, and by 2:19 AM, the Nissan Altima had departed the scene. Although a tow truck was initially requested for the gray Toyota Corolla, this request was later canceled as the vehicle was operable.
