Los Angeles, CA – At least two people were injured following a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 10 in Los Angeles early Friday afternoon, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The collision occurred at approximately 1:53 p.m. on eastbound Interstate 10 near the Garfield Avenue off-ramp.
Authorities report the crash involved four vehicles, including a Ford F-250, a Tesla Model S, a Honda CR-V, and a Metro bus. The collision blocked the HOV and FasTrak lanes, and at one point, all lanes were stopped as the situation unfolded.
At least one driver and one passenger were transported to a hospital with injuries. The extent of their conditions has not been disclosed. No fatalities or arrests have been reported in connection with the crash.
Emergency responders, including CHP officers and local fire personnel, arrived at the scene to assist victims and manage traffic. Tow services were requested to clear the damaged vehicles from the roadway.
The crash caused significant traffic disruptions along the eastbound I-10 corridor, with multiple lanes blocked for an extended period before all lanes were reopened by approximately 3:37 p.m.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and officials have not yet determined the sequence of events that led to the multi-vehicle collision.
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Los Angeles County consistently reports some of the highest numbers of traffic collisions in the state, with tens of thousands of injury crashes recorded annually. In recent years, the county has averaged over 50,000 injury-related crashes per year, with congestion on major freeways like Interstate 10 contributing to a higher risk of multi-vehicle collisions.
