Central LA, CA (October 25, 2024) – A significant multi-vehicle traffic collision occurred late Friday night on the northbound US101 at the Universal Studios Blvd off-ramp. The incident was reported at approximately 11:47 PM and involved multiple vehicles, leading to substantial traffic disruptions in the area.
Initial reports indicate that the collision involved a white Toyota RAV4, a blue sedan, and a black sedan. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with debris scattered across the roadway and vehicles blocking multiple lanes. Emergency responders from Central LA were dispatched to the scene to manage the situation and assist those involved.
As the situation unfolded, it was noted that one of the vehicles, an Infiniti G35, may have been driven under the influence, as suggested by reports of the driver attempting to re-enter the vehicle while showing signs of impairment. Additionally, a good Samaritan was seen trying to remove a bumper from the middle lane, highlighting the urgency of the situation.
By 11:50 PM, emergency personnel reported that the collision had resulted in a large amount of debris in the lanes, leading to a complete blockage of traffic. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) later updated the incident status, changing it from a no-injury collision to one involving multiple vehicles and significant damage.
Towing services were requested to assist with the removal of the damaged vehicles, with Hollywood Car Carrier Tow and Jon’s Towing both on standby. The situation was further complicated by damage to a nearby chain link fence, which required notification to the appropriate city services.
