Los Angeles, CA (October 9, 2024) – An injury multi-car crash occurred early Tuesday morning in the Woodland Hills area, resulting in several injuries. The collision was reported at approximately 12:45 a.m. on the westbound 101 FWY, just east of Fallbrook Ave.

According to the California Highway Patrol, three vehicles were involved in the pileup. Multiple individuals sustained injuries, with at least two requiring hospitalization for unspecified injuries. Emergency responders arrived promptly, including paramedics who transported the injured to nearby medical facilities for treatment.

The Los Angeles Fire Department assisted with the extraction of vehicles and ensured the safety of those involved. In the aftermath of the crash, investigators closed all westbound lanes and two eastbound lanes of the FWY to facilitate their investigation and manage the scene effectively. The eastbound lanes were reopened shortly after, but the closure on the westbound side was extended for an additional two hours. During this time, westbound traffic was diverted off the FWY at Ventura Blvd, causing significant delays in the area.

Our thoughts are with those who were injured in this accident and their families during this challenging time.

Injury Multi-Car Accidents in Los Angeles

Los Angeles, known for its bustling streets and heavy traffic, sees a significant number of injury multi-car accidents each year. In 2022, the California Office of Traffic Safety reported over 200,000 injury collisions statewide, with Los Angeles County accounting for a substantial portion of these incidents.

Factors contributing to these accidents include distracted driving, speeding, and driving under the influence, all of which pose significant risks to public safety.
