A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on the eastbound side of State Route 134 (SR-134) near the Central Avenue off-ramp in Glendale, CA. The incident led to significant traffic congestion as vehicles blocked the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, causing delays for motorists during the evening rush hour.
Emergency response units were dispatched to manage the situation and secure the area. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles, including a motorcycle identified by its yellow and black color. The collision resulted in temporary lane closures, further contributing to the traffic backup.
To facilitate emergency response efforts, a Sig Alert was issued for the HOV lanes, which were closed off for approximately one hour. This action aimed to alleviate congestion and allow for a safe and efficient clearing of the scene.
As a result of the incident, drivers experienced delays and backups in the area, prompting some to seek alternate routes to avoid the congestion. The scene was cleared later in the evening, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
Motorists in Glendale, CA, are encouraged to stay informed about traffic conditions, especially during peak travel times, to navigate effectively through potential delays.
