A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near the interchange with U.S. Highway 101 South and Interstate 10 East in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place around 6:28 AM during the busy morning commute, involving a black BMW and a white Toyota Colorado.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. The black BMW was reported to have a broken rear axle, requiring a tow truck for removal. Due to the collision, multiple lanes were closed, resulting in significant traffic delays and congestion in the area.
By 7:03 AM, the roadway was cleared, and emergency responders began reopening the lanes to alleviate the backup caused by the incident. However, complications arose when a tow cable broke while attempting to hitch the BMW, causing further delays in clearing the scene.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious while traveling through the area, as residual traffic impacts may persist. The California Highway Patrol is actively monitoring the situation to ensure safe passage for all drivers.
Drivers are encouraged to seek alternative routes to avoid potential congestion resulting from this traffic incident.
