A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a gray Mini Cooper and a gray standard vehicle, occurred today on the northbound lanes of US Highway 101 near the Van Nuys Boulevard off-ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 4:56 PM, causing significant disruption during the busy afternoon traffic hours.
Both vehicles were blocking the second lane, prompting immediate traffic management measures. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, implementing lane closures to ensure safety and facilitate the removal of the vehicles. By around 5:04 PM, both vehicles had been moved off the main lane and onto the roadside, allowing for the gradual reopening of the affected area.
Despite the quick response, drivers experienced delays and congestion as traffic began to back up in the vicinity of the incident. The closure of lane #2 contributed to the overall slowdown, impacting the flow of vehicles on this busy highway.
