A significant traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 at Reseda Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA, involving ten vehicles. The incident began around 10:56 PM and included a Silver Tesla Model 3, a Black Mini Cooper, a Black sedan, a Gold SUV, and a Black SUV, among others. The collision resulted in several vehicles blocking multiple lanes, leading to considerable traffic congestion in the area.
Emergency services responded quickly, deploying multiple units to manage the scene and facilitate traffic control. Towing services were called to assist with the removal of damaged vehicles, including the Tesla and a Ford Mustang, which had tire damage. Due to the collision, lane closures were implemented, particularly affecting the first lane, which remained closed for approximately 30 minutes.
Debris from the incident scattered across the roadway, further complicating traffic flow. Although the second, third, fourth, and fifth lanes were reopened shortly after, motorists experienced delays and backups as emergency crews worked to clear the scene. A sigalert was issued to inform drivers of the ongoing situation and potential delays.
By midnight, the scene was cleared, and traffic began to return to normal. However, drivers are advised to remain cautious in the area as residual congestion may linger.
