A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a heavy big rig and a Kia Sorento, occurred today on the southbound lanes of US Highway 101 near the Glendale Boulevard on-ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was reported around 4:30 PM and resulted in significant lane blockages, causing delays for motorists during the busy afternoon traffic.
The big rig, weighing approximately 32,000 pounds, was unable to move from the lanes, leading to backups and congestion in the area. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) quickly responded to manage the situation and implement traffic control measures to restore the flow of vehicles.
Initially, a tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the big rig, but this request was later canceled. As a result, the traffic incident continued to affect the #2 and #3 lanes, prompting the CHP to advise drivers to seek alternative routes to avoid delays.
As emergency responders worked to clear the scene, traffic management efforts remained in place to ensure safety and minimize congestion. The CHP continued to monitor the situation, providing updates to motorists about the ongoing traffic incident. Drivers in Los Angeles, CA, are encouraged to stay informed about traffic conditions as the situation develops.
