A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today at the intersection of Colorado Street and the Colorado State Freeway Extension in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place during the afternoon, causing significant traffic disruptions, including lane closures and a one-hour signal alert for drivers.
Emergency response teams, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and traffic management units, arrived on the scene shortly after the incident was reported. The vehicles involved included a gray Honda SUV, a high-bridge vehicle with a rear wheel locked, and a Chevy Bolt. The positioning of these vehicles blocked the second lane, leading to traffic delays and congestion in the area.
At approximately 5:01 PM, a signal alert was issued to inform motorists of the expected delays. Tow services were arranged to assist with the removal of the vehicles, and by 5:40 PM, all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as residual delays may still be present following the incident. The CHP encourages drivers to stay informed about traffic conditions and to drive safely.
