A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a dark gray Honda sedan and a big rig, occurred today on State Route 118 West at Paxton Street in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was reported around 4:19 PM and led to significant traffic disruptions during the busy afternoon commute.
Emergency response units quickly arrived on the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety. The big rig was blocking the middle lanes, while the Honda was leaking fluid, indicating it was not drivable. As a result, multiple lanes were closed, causing congestion and delays for motorists traveling through the area.
Tow services were requested to remove both vehicles, with a tow truck arriving shortly after the collision was reported. The Paxton on-ramp was temporarily closed to facilitate the removal of the vehicles and to allow emergency personnel to work safely.
By approximately 4:51 PM, all lanes were reopened, and traffic began to flow normally again. The incident serves as a reminder for drivers to exercise caution on the roads, especially during peak travel times. Motorists are advised to remain alert and stay informed about traffic conditions in the area.
