Los Angeles, CA (December 8, 2024) – Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene of a traffic collision at the eastbound I10 near the S Hoover St on-ramp around 11:25 PM. The incident involved multiple vehicles, including a silver Honda Civic, which overturned and was blocking the slow lane of the freeway. The collision resulted in a significant backup as multiple lanes were blocked.
Initial reports indicated that the accident involved at least 7-8 vehicles, and the Honda Civic was the vehicle that flipped onto its roof, while the other vehicles sustained damage, primarily from rear-end collisions. A witness to the incident suggested that the silver Honda may have been involved in a possible hit-and-run (20001), although it was unclear whether the driver was directly responsible for the collision. The driver of the Honda Civic reportedly exited the scene near Alameda.
Multiple towing companies were requested, including Hollywood Car Carrier and EagleRock Tow, to assist with clearing the wreckage. Emergency medical teams were on-site to assist those injured in the crash. The severity of the injuries is unclear, but at least one person was reported to have been trapped inside the vehicle.
Traffic Collisions in California
Multi-vehicle accidents, especially those that result in overturned vehicles and road closures, are common on busy highways like the I10. This particular collision highlights the danger of high-speed travel and the risks associated with sudden lane changes or rear-end crashes. In such cases, blocking lanes and debris on the road can significantly disrupt traffic and delay emergency response times.
CHP is actively investigating the cause of the collision and working to clear the scene and reopen lanes. Drivers are urged to exercise caution when traveling on freeways, especially during late-night hours when visibility may be reduced, and accidents like this can occur more easily.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a traffic accident, it is important to seek medical attention immediately, even for minor injuries, and consult with legal professionals to protect your rights.
