A traffic collision on Interstate 10 East in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant delays during the evening commute today. The incident, involving a dark-colored Dodge Charger, occurred around 6:07 PM and resulted in the vehicle facing sideways in the fast track lanes.
Emergency response units were quickly deployed to manage the scene and control traffic flow, as heavy congestion developed, obstructing access to the collision site. To mitigate the impact on traffic, the California Highway Patrol requested the closure of the Alameda Street on-ramp to the eastbound 101 Express Lane.
A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the damaged vehicle. By approximately 7:11 PM, the Dodge Charger was transported to Del Mar Park N Ride, with an additional drop-off at a nearby 7-Eleven on Valley shortly after.
