The incident, which took place around 11:45 PM, involved a silver or white Kia and a dark-colored SUV. The SUV collided with a pole, resulting in significant impacts on traffic flow.
Due to the traffic incident, the on-ramp was blocked, causing delays for drivers attempting to enter the freeway. Additionally, a freeway entrance sign was damaged, and a flashing traffic signal malfunctioned, further complicating the situation.
