A traffic collision occurred today on US Highway 101 South near the North Los Angeles Street off-ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident, reported at approximately 7:15 PM, involved three vehicles: an orange GMC truck, a Toyota SUV, and a white sedan. The collision resulted in significant lane blockages, including partial obstruction of the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and at least one to two travel lanes.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety. The involved vehicles sustained considerable damage, with some rendered undrivable and requiring towing. A total of two tow trucks were dispatched to assist in clearing the roadway.
As a result of the lane closures, motorists experienced delays and congestion in the area. Authorities worked diligently to restore normal traffic conditions, and by 7:33 PM, four lanes were reported to be open, alleviating some of the traffic backup.
Drivers are advised to remain cautious and expect residual delays as cleanup efforts continue.
