A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 91 East at the South Central Avenue off-ramp in Carson, CA, leading to major traffic disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved two vehicles: a black Mercedes GLE350, which was pulled to the right shoulder, and a gray Mercedes E500, which sustained damage to its underside.
