A traffic collision on northbound US Highway 101 in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, which occurred around midday, involved three vehicles: a white van, a dark-colored sedan, and a grey pickup truck. The collision blocked the middle lane and the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane, leading to considerable congestion during the busy afternoon traffic.
Emergency response teams, including the California Highway Patrol and traffic management units, quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation. They coordinated towing operations for the vehicles involved, as multiple tow trucks were dispatched to assist with the removal of the damaged vehicles. The response teams worked diligently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic flow.
Due to the lane blockages, motorists experienced delays and backups on the northbound side of US Highway 101, particularly near the Reseda Boulevard off-ramp. Drivers were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the area until the situation was resolved.
By early afternoon, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume its normal pace. This incident highlights the importance of cautious driving in busy highway conditions.
