A traffic collision occurred today on the southbound side of State Route 170 (SR-170) at the Magnolia Boulevard on-ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident, reported shortly after 8:09 PM, involved four vehicles: a white Prius, a gray Lexus, a white SUV, and a silver SUV.

The collision resulted in a blockage at the beginning of the on-ramp, leading to immediate lane closures and traffic management measures. Multiple emergency units were dispatched to the scene to control the situation and manage traffic flow effectively. One vehicle was reported as unmovable, prompting the need for a tow truck to assist with its removal.

As a result of the traffic incident, motorists experienced delays and congestion in the area, particularly during the evening rush hour. The California Highway Patrol and local law enforcement worked diligently to ensure safety and facilitate the clearing of the roadway.

Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the affected area until the situation is fully resolved. The prompt response from emergency services helped mitigate further traffic backup, but delays may persist as the scene is cleared.
