One Hurt in Semi-Truck Collision on 210 Freeway at Osborne Street [Los Angeles, CA]

Semi-Truck Collision on 210 Freeway Shuts Down Traffic in Lake View Terrace

 
LOS ANGELES, CA (July 9, 2021) – A driver suffered injuries in a collision on 210 Freeway at Osborne Street in Lake View Terrace on Wednesday.
 
The California Highway Patrol reported the incident took place in the eastbound lanes. It involved a semi-truck that was carrying a non-hazardous load and a passenger vehicle.
 
The case and the circumstances that led to the crash were not immediately clear. However, the authorities said the semi overturned as a result of the crash. Firefighters also handled a small fuel leak from the truck.
 
The driver of the truck sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Medical responders took the injured driver to the hospital for treatment. Meanwhile, paramedics also evaluated two other people at the scene, who declined to be transported to a hospital.
 
The crash prompted the closure of the 210 Freeway in both directions. It took several hours before all lanes reopened as the clearing crew worked on removing the semi from the freeway. Meantime, this crash remains under investigation.
 
Trucks, buses, and other large vehicles are harder to maneuver, have more blind spots, and take a longer time to decelerate. Drivers need to be extra vigilant and observe safety at all times. Avoid distractions, know your blind spots, and keep a safe braking distance.
