A traffic collision on State Route 134 West in Los Angeles, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 4:40 PM and involved three vehicles: a white sedan, a tan truck, and a white Toyota Prius. The white sedan and tan truck were primarily involved in the collision, while the Prius sustained major rear-end damage.
To manage the aftermath of the collision, lane closures were implemented, particularly affecting the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and the number one lane. This has led to increased congestion and delays for drivers during the busy afternoon traffic hours.
Emergency response teams arrived quickly to control the scene and assist with traffic management. A tow truck was requested for the damaged Toyota Prius, which was blocking the roadway. Additionally, one vehicle reportedly left the scene, leaving behind an oil trail that prompted further investigation on the Lankershim off-ramp.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the backup and delays. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the scene to ensure the safe clearance of vehicles and restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible. Drivers should remain cautious and expect continued traffic impacts in the area until the situation is fully resolved.
