A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a Nissan and a Scion, occurred today on the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near the 7th Street off-ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was reported around 12:06 AM and led to significant traffic disruptions.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, where a downed light pole with exposed wires and debris was obstructing the slow lane. This blockage resulted in lane closures, causing delays and congestion for motorists during the early morning hours. Traffic management units worked efficiently to clear the area and ensure safety for all drivers.
A tow truck was summoned to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the collision. By approximately 1:15 AM, emergency responders had coordinated the removal of the downed pole and debris, allowing for the gradual reopening of the affected lanes.
Motorists are advised to anticipate residual delays as traffic resumes its normal flow. This incident highlights the importance of remaining vigilant while driving, particularly during early morning commutes when visibility may be reduced.
