A traffic collision occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 105 (I-105) near Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles, CA, causing notable traffic disruptions during the early morning hours. The incident was reported at approximately 2:22 AM, involving two vehicles and a towing unit that responded to assist at the scene.
Emergency services managed the situation effectively by keeping the express lanes open for through movement while the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane was blocked. This approach helped to minimize congestion for drivers in the area. By 2:28 AM, emergency units were en route, and they successfully cleared the scene by 2:42 AM.
Motorists experienced delays due to the traffic collision, particularly in the HOV lane, which was temporarily closed to facilitate emergency response efforts. Fortunately, the express lanes remained accessible, allowing for continued movement for many commuters.
As the morning commute began, drivers were advised to remain cautious and expect possible backups as traffic resumed normal flow. The prompt response from emergency services helped to alleviate potential congestion, ensuring that the impact on traffic was managed as efficiently as possible.
