A traffic collision occurred today on Westbound State Route 60 (SR-60) at Downey Road in Los Angeles, CA, leading to complete lane closures and significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved two vehicles: a blue Mercedes and another vehicle that was being towed. One vehicle remained drivable, while the other required towing due to damage sustained in the crash.
Emergency traffic management teams were quickly deployed to the scene to control the situation and facilitate the clearing of the roadway. As a result of the collision, traffic experienced significant delays, with vehicles coming to a standstill in the affected area. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid congestion.
The collision was reported at approximately 6:49 PM, and emergency responders arrived shortly thereafter. By 8:00 PM, efforts to clear the scene were underway, with one vehicle in tow. However, the complete lane closures had already caused a backup of traffic, impacting the evening commute for many drivers.
Travelers in the area should remain cautious and expect residual delays as the situation is resolved. Authorities are working diligently to restore normal traffic flow on Westbound SR-60.
