A significant traffic collision occurred today on the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101, just before the eastbound Interstate 10 interchange in Los Angeles, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a silver SUV, a black BMW, and an unspecified solo vehicle. Emergency response teams arrived at the scene shortly after the collision was reported around 3:09 AM.

By 3:21 AM, all lanes of southbound U.S. Highway 101 leading to eastbound Interstate 10 from Cesar Chavez Street were closed, resulting in substantial traffic delays for morning commuters. The closure caused significant congestion as vehicles were unable to pass through the affected area.

A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the black BMW, which was confirmed to be involved in the collision. The status of the other vehicles remains unclear, but they were not reported as out of service. Emergency units worked diligently to manage the traffic scene and ensure safety for all motorists.

Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts continue. The California Highway Patrol is on-site to facilitate traffic control and ensure the safe passage of vehicles through the affected area. Updates will be provided as the situation develops.
