A chaotic scene unfolded overnight in Baldwin Hills as several vehicles became entangled in a muddy crash amidst a relentless storm. The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. Monday when approximately six cars collided on La Brea Avenue. The heavy rain had triggered a mudslide, partially covering the road with debris, contributing to the collision.
Visibility was severely limited due to the storm, compounding the challenges for drivers navigating the area. The Los Angeles Police Department reported multiple injuries from the crash, with one individual potentially sustaining a broken leg.
The aftermath of the mudslide prompted authorities to implement partial street closures to manage the situation and ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians in the affected area.
