A significant traffic collision occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 10 (I-10) near the Central Avenue off-ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a grey Toyota Prius, a white pickup truck, and an unknown vehicle. The collision resulted in the closure of the three middle lanes, leading to substantial traffic delays for morning commuters.
Emergency response teams were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. As a result of the lane closures, traffic was diverted onto Alameda Street, causing increased congestion in the area. The involved vehicles were processed for towing and removal, further impacting traffic flow.
Authorities have advised drivers to seek alternate routes to avoid the affected area, as the closures are expected to remain in place until the situation is resolved. The traffic incident has created significant backups extending beyond the immediate vicinity, affecting overall travel conditions on I-10.
Motorists are encouraged to stay informed through traffic updates and to exercise caution while navigating through the area. With multiple emergency service units on scene, efforts are underway to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible.
