A traffic collision occurred today on the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near De Soto Avenue in Los Angeles, CA, causing significant traffic delays during the morning commute. The incident involved two vehicles: a black Dodge that collided with a guardrail, blocking a slow lane, and another vehicle associated with Crown Exotic Dealership.
Emergency response units quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. The collision initially obstructed the slow lane, leading to congestion as vehicles were unable to pass. A tow truck was called to remove the black Dodge, which was taken for evidence. The roadway was cleared shortly after, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
Motorists experienced backups as the incident unfolded, but the efficient response from emergency personnel minimized the impact on traffic. By managing the scene effectively, responders were able to restore normal conditions in a timely manner.
This traffic collision serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, particularly during peak travel times. The California Highway Patrol urges all drivers to adhere to speed limits and remain vigilant on the road to prevent similar incidents in the future.
