A traffic collision occurred today on State Route 118 East at Interstate 5 (I-5) in Los Angeles, CA, involving four vehicles. The incident took place around 9:15 PM and included a white Jeep Wrangler, a grey Jeep, a brown SUV, and a red Toyota. One of the vehicles, a Jeep with a broken rear axle, required towing from the scene, while the other vehicles remained in place.
The collision blocked one lane out of three, leading to traffic congestion and delays for evening commuters. Emergency response units were dispatched promptly to manage the situation and control traffic flow. As a result, motorists experienced backups as they navigated around the scene.
By approximately 10:29 PM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. However, the initial blockage caused significant delays for drivers traveling through this busy area.
The California Highway Patrol was on-site to oversee the response and ensure safety while the vehicles were being managed. Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area and to expect potential delays as traffic returns to normal.
