A traffic collision on Northbound U.S. Highway 101 near Lankershim Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, involving a single vehicle described as a black sedan, was reported around 1:34 AM. The vehicle was blocking a slow lane, leading to full lane closures and adjustments in traffic management in the area.
Emergency responders, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP), arrived promptly to manage the situation. On-scene traffic control was established to direct motorists and mitigate congestion. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicle, which was confirmed to be partially obstructing the first lane.
As a result of the collision, drivers experienced delays and backups, particularly near the Sunset Boulevard exit. Traffic was held at various points along the highway, causing significant congestion for northbound travelers.
The CHP worked diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes if possible, as lane closures may continue until the vehicle is fully removed and the roadway is cleared. This traffic incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain cautious and attentive while navigating the highway, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced.
