A traffic collision on State Route 2 South (SR-2 S) at San Fernando Road in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the late afternoon hours. The incident involved two vehicles: a silver Toyota RAV4, which sustained a broken rear axle, and a grey Mazda that was reported to be smoking.
Emergency services, including California Highway Patrol (CHP) units, responded promptly to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. Due to the damage, the silver Toyota RAV4 required towing, while the grey Mazda was assessed on-site. The collision resulted in lane closures, leading to delays and congestion for motorists in the area.
Drivers were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid the backup caused by the traffic incident. CHP units remained on-site to control the situation and facilitate the safe removal of the vehicles involved. The scene was cleared, and normal traffic flow was restored shortly thereafter, although delays persisted for some time.
Motorists are reminded to stay alert and exercise caution while driving, especially in areas where traffic incidents have occurred. For real-time updates on traffic conditions, drivers are encouraged to check local traffic reports.
