A significant traffic collision occurred today on the Eastbound lanes of State Route 134 near Figueroa Street in Los Angeles, CA, involving six vehicles. The incident took place during the morning commute, resulting in multiple vehicles, including a white Mercedes, a white SUV, and a white Toyota, overturning in the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane.
The collision blocked the HOV lane, leading to considerable traffic congestion and delays for motorists in the area. Emergency response teams were dispatched promptly to manage the situation and secure the scene. Towing operations were initiated to remove the overturned vehicles, which further contributed to the lane closures.
Traffic management officials issued a SigAlert, advising drivers of the lane closures and potential backups. The HOV lane remained closed for approximately one hour while crews worked to clear the roadway. By 6:54 AM, the roadway was cleared, and the SigAlert was canceled, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as residual delays may still be experienced following the incident. This traffic collision underscores the importance of safe driving practices, especially during peak travel times.
