A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on State Route 2 South near Colorado Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA. The incident involved a white van and an Amazon truck, resulting in significant traffic disruptions during the afternoon.
The collision blocked multiple lanes, leading to delays and congestion for drivers in the area. Initially, only the first lane remained open, while emergency units were dispatched to manage the scene and control traffic flow. The California Highway Patrol issued a signal alert, indicating that lanes two, three, and four would be closed for approximately one hour to facilitate the clearing of the vehicles involved.
A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles from the scene. Traffic signal timings were adjusted to help manage the backup, which extended into surrounding areas, causing additional delays for motorists.
By early evening, the first and second lanes were reopened, but traffic conditions continued to be affected as the signal alert was extended for an additional hour. Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid ongoing delays as cleanup efforts proceeded.
Motorists should remain cautious and expect lingering traffic congestion in the area as the situation develops.
