A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a school bus and a white Toyota, occurred today on State Route 118 West at the Glenoaks Boulevard Off-Ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 9:06 AM, causing significant disruptions during the morning commute.

Emergency units quickly responded to the scene, leading to lane closures that affected both the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and the number one lane. As a result, motorists faced delays and congestion in the area. Initial reports indicated that multiple vehicles were present, but the school bus and the Toyota were confirmed as the primary vehicles involved in the crash.

Traffic was halted in all lanes due to the incident, creating a backup that extended for several miles. Tow trucks were dispatched to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved, further contributing to the delays. By 9:32 AM, emergency responders began to manage the flow of traffic, although some lanes remained intermittently blocked as cleanup efforts continued.

Motorists are advised to exercise caution and consider alternate routes to avoid the ongoing congestion. The situation is being monitored, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
