A traffic collision on State Route 118 East in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred shortly after midnight and involved one vehicle, a white Ford F150, which was found facing the left shoulder of the roadway.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation and minimize traffic impact. As the collision blocked the primary driving lane, multiple units coordinated efforts to clear the roadway. A tow truck was called to assist in moving the vehicle off the road, which was successfully relocated to the embankment on the left shoulder.
Motorists experienced delays and congestion as lanes were temporarily closed during the towing operations. The traffic incident created a backup for drivers navigating the area, particularly affecting those traveling on the eastbound lanes of State Route 118 and transitioning onto the southbound Interstate 5 (I-5).
Authorities worked diligently to restore normal traffic flow, and by the early morning hours, the situation was under control. Drivers are advised to remain cautious and aware of potential residual delays as the roadway clears. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the area to ensure safe passage for all vehicles.
