A traffic collision on State Route 170 North in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 4:18 PM when a small yellow Kia SUV collided with a white van, resulting in the Kia overturning and blocking multiple lanes. Emergency units promptly responded to the scene to manage traffic and secure the area, confirming the situation as a traffic collision.

As a result of the incident, the northbound side of State Route 170 experienced lane blockages, particularly in the number one lane, leading to delays and congestion for drivers. The southbound side also faced traffic impact as vehicles were repositioned to the right shoulder to facilitate the flow of traffic.

Tow operations were initiated to remove the vehicles involved, with a tow truck called to assist. However, some of the tow requests were later partially canceled, indicating that one or both vehicles may have been moved from their original positions. By approximately 4:30 PM, most vehicles on the southbound side were cleared from the lanes, allowing for some restoration of traffic flow.

Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect residual delays as the situation is resolved. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the area to ensure safe travel for all drivers.
