A hit-and-run incident occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 710 near the West Willow Street off-ramp in Long Beach, CA. At approximately 7:36 AM, a gray sedan, displaying a disabled placard, was struck by an unknown vehicle that fled the scene. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries resulting from the collision.
Emergency services responded promptly, and it was determined that the gray sedan was non-drivable and required towing. Witnesses indicated the presence of two additional sedans that may have been involved, but their roles remain unclear. The California Highway Patrol worked diligently to manage the situation and minimize traffic disruption.
As a result of the incident, vehicles were blocking the middle lanes of the highway, leading to temporary traffic delays. A tow truck was called to assist with the disabled vehicle, allowing for the safe clearance of the area. By 7:50 AM, the situation was under control, and efforts were made to restore normal traffic flow.
Motorists are reminded to stay alert and report any suspicious activity on the roadways. The California Highway Patrol encourages drivers to exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
