A traffic collision on State Route 118 West in Los Angeles, CA, has caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles: a gray Toyota and a white Toyota. The gray Toyota was reported to be blocking the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane, which led to lane closures and traffic delays.
Emergency response teams were promptly dispatched to manage the scene. Crews worked to clear debris from the roadway and ensure the safety of all motorists. The HOV lane remained obstructed for a period, contributing to congestion and backups in the area.
As responders worked to clear the vehicles, traffic flow was impacted, with motorists advised to expect delays. Authorities are urging drivers to consider alternate routes to avoid the affected area and minimize travel time.
By mid-morning, efforts to restore normal traffic conditions were underway, with responders focused on clearing the HOV lane and managing traffic flow. Updates on the situation will be provided as they become available.
Travelers are encouraged to remain cautious and patient while navigating through the area as emergency crews continue their work.
