A single-vehicle incident occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 710 near East Olympic Boulevard in East Los Angeles, CA, leading to significant traffic delays. The incident involved a Honda Odyssey that became immobilized in the slow lane, blocking traffic for several minutes. Emergency services responded to the scene shortly after the incident was reported at approximately 11:01 PM.
Upon arrival, responders attempted to jump-start the vehicle, but it was determined that the Honda Odyssey could not be started and could not be shifted into neutral.

The vehicle was successfully moved off the roadway by 11:23 PM, allowing traffic to resume. Fortunately, no injuries were confirmed at the time of the incident.
