Early Tuesday morning, a significant traffic incident involving multiple vehicles led to the closure of the westbound lanes on the 101 Freeway in the Woodland Hills area, Los Angeles. The collision, which occurred just east of Fallbrook Avenue at approximately 12:45 a.m., involved three vehicles, according to initial reports.
The incident resulted in injuries to several individuals, with at least two people requiring transportation to the hospital by ambulance. The severity of the injuries sustained in the crash has not been disclosed. The collision necessitated the shutdown of all lanes heading westbound and two lanes going eastbound, as emergency response teams worked at the scene.
The lanes heading eastbound were reopened shortly after the incident, but a SigAlert for westbound traffic remained in effect until around 4 a.m., as stated in an update by the California Highway Patrol on X, previously known as Twitter. Traffic was redirected off the freeway at Ventura Boulevard during the closure.
Fortunately, the lanes were reopened ahead of schedule, with the SigAlert being lifted around 5:15 a.m. The investigation into what caused the multi-vehicle crash is ongoing.
