A traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of East Olympic Boulevard and South Ford Boulevard in East Los Angeles, CA, involving three vehicles. The incident was reported around 8:36 PM and included a dark blue Honda, a black Toyota four-door SUV, and a third unidentified vehicle. One of the vehicles was found hanging from a utility pole, which required immediate attention from emergency response teams.
Due to the collision, lane closures were implemented, resulting in traffic delays and congestion in the area. Emergency response units were dispatched to manage the scene and direct traffic, ensuring safety for all motorists. A tow truck was arranged to assist with the removal of the vehicles; however, one party decided to handle their own towing.
Additionally, the situation necessitated a notification to Edison to inspect the utility pole supporting the cables from which one vehicle was hanging. Fortunately, no damage to the pole was reported, allowing for a more efficient resolution to the incident.
Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible, as traffic backups are expected to continue while the scene is cleared. This traffic incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and aware of road conditions, particularly during busy traffic periods.
