A traffic collision involving a semi truck occurred today on the Interstate 10 East near the La Cienega Boulevard off-ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was reported around 8:50 AM during the busy morning commute, leading to significant traffic disruptions in the area.
The semi truck sustained damage after colliding with a concrete barrier and a sign, resulting in the blockage of one or more lanes. This caused a hard closure of the off-ramp, leading to delays and backups for drivers navigating the scene. Emergency response teams were dispatched promptly to manage traffic flow and ensure safety while the situation was being addressed.
A tow truck was called to remove the damaged vehicle, and the closure is expected to last approximately 45 minutes as crews work to clear the area. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid congestion and delays associated with this traffic incident.
The California Highway Patrol is on-site to assist with traffic control and manage the situation effectively. Drivers should remain cautious and expect potential delays as the scene is cleared.
