On Monday, October 7, 2024, a significant multi-vehicle collision occurred on the northbound lanes of the Interstate 5 Freeway, just past the Van Nuys Boulevard exit in Los Angeles. The incident, which took place at approximately 12:41 p.m., involved a mix of six or seven vehicles, as reported by the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
Among the vehicles caught in the chaos were a Nissan Rogue SUV, which suffered severe traffic-related damage, a red Honda Civic sedan, a BMW sedan, a Lexus sedan, a Hyundai sedan, a Toyota Echo, and a box truck. These vehicles were found scattered across the freeway, causing substantial blockages across several lanes.
Emergency services, including paramedics from the Los Angeles Fire Department, were promptly on the scene to attend to the injured, although specifics regarding the number of injuries or their severity have not been disclosed.
As of now, CHP investigators are actively working to piece together the events leading up to the accident in an effort to ascertain which party or parties may be at fault.
