A traffic collision on Colorado Street Off-Ramp from the Colorado State Freeway Extension in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the evening rush hour. The incident occurred at approximately 5:04 PM and involved two vehicles: a grey Audi that was not drivable and a KIA sedan that was towed from the scene.
The presence of both vehicles blocked lanes, leading to slow traffic and congestion in the area. Traffic management units were dispatched to the scene to assist with traffic control and to minimize delays. The collision resulted in backups that affected the flow of afternoon traffic, prompting motorists to seek alternate routes.
Emergency responders worked efficiently to clear the scene, with a tow truck arriving to remove the KIA sedan and assess the grey Audi, which sustained significant damage. By 5:55 PM, both vehicles had been moved to the roadside, allowing for the gradual reopening of the affected lanes.
