A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on State Route 118 East near Sepulveda Boulevard in San Fernando, CA. The incident took place around 8:29 AM when a black BMW struck a white Tesla from behind. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision.

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where it was determined that the black BMW was undriveable due to the deployment of its airbags. Both vehicles required towing to clear the roadway. The white Tesla was towed first, followed by the black BMW, which could not be driven due to the accident.

As a result of the incident, the fast lane and high-occupancy vehicle lane were temporarily blocked, leading to some traffic disruption in the area.
