A traffic collision occurred today on the eastbound lanes of State Route 134 (SR-134) in Los Angeles, CA, involving two vehicles: a white Toyota and a silver Toyota SUV. The incident resulted in significant fire damage to one of the vehicles, particularly in the engine compartment.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, leading to temporary lane closures that notably affected the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes. As firefighters worked to extinguish the fire, all lanes except for the fourth lane were shut down, creating substantial delays and congestion for late-night travelers.
The collision was reported shortly after 11:16 PM, and by 12:13 AM, emergency responders had cleared the roadway, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. However, the initial response and lane closures caused backups that extended for several miles.
Motorists in the area are advised to remain cautious and expect potential delays as cleanup efforts were underway. This traffic incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially during nighttime hours, and the need for quick emergency response to manage traffic flow effectively.
