A traffic collision occurred today on State Route 134 West at North Brand Boulevard in Glendale, CA, involving four vehicles, including a white Jeep Compass and a white Toyota SUV. The incident took place during the morning commute, leading to significant traffic delays as the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) and middle lanes were blocked.
