A hit-and-run incident involving two semi-trucks occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 105 near Garfield Avenue in Paramount, CA. The collision, which took place around 6:04 PM, involved a red semi-truck that fled the scene after striking a white semi-truck. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries.

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where the white semi-truck was found partially blocking the lanes and leaking fluids. A heavy-duty tow truck was called to remove the damaged vehicle due to its hazardous condition. The incident resulted in temporary lane closures, particularly affecting the slow lane, as crews worked to clear the area and manage the fluid leak.

By approximately 7:51 PM, all lanes had been reopened, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. Authorities are reminding drivers to remain vigilant and report any reckless driving behavior, especially in areas with heavy vehicle traffic.

This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, particularly when operating large vehicles on busy highways. The California Highway Patrol encourages anyone with information about the fleeing red semi-truck to come forward.
