A traffic collision occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 (I-10) near the National Boulevard off-ramp in Los Angeles, CA, significantly impacting traffic flow. The incident involved one vehicle that struck a pole, resulting in the displacement of several traffic control signs and a chain link fence.
Due to the collision, lane closures were implemented to ensure the safety of motorists and emergency responders. The fallen signs included critical traffic indicators, such as a "Do Not Enter" sign and a "Wrong Way" sign, which posed potential hazards for drivers in the area.
Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the situation, with multiple units on scene working to secure the area and direct traffic. A tow truck was dispatched to remove the vehicle, which was reported to be positioned over live wires, complicating the response efforts.
Motorists traveling through this section of I-10 should anticipate delays and possible backups as crews work to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternative routes to avoid congestion in the vicinity.
Stay tuned for further updates as the situation develops and road conditions improve.
