ARTESIA, Los Angeles County, Calif., Nov. 4, 2026 — One person was hurt on Tuesday morning, November 3, in a three-vehicle crash on westbound State Route 91 near the Pioneer Boulevard off-ramp, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported shortly before 9:15 a.m. on the westbound 91 just east of Pioneer Boulevard. A white Toyota Camry and a silver Dodge Caravan were initially involved, and the agency's incident log later listed a third vehicle, a white Toyota Corolla, as part of the same collision. The Corolla's occupants reportedly exchanged information with the other drivers and left the scene.
One person traveling in the Dodge Caravan was taken from the scene complaining of pain. The Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to the scene. A tow truck was called to remove at least one of the vehicles from the roadway.
The CHP log also referenced a separate, earlier collision involving a white GMC Acadia nearby that was logged as a possible hit-and-run under state vehicle code.
The matter remains under investigation. We hope those who were hurt recover quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What typically causes crashes like this one?
Collisions on freeway off-ramps and merge areas are commonly tied to sudden speed changes, following too closely, or a driver misjudging gaps in traffic as vehicles slow for an exit.
Does speed make a difference in how serious a crash is?
Yes. Higher speeds give drivers less time to react and increase the force involved in a collision, which usually means more serious vehicle damage and injuries.
Why is distracted driving considered so risky?
Even a few seconds of a driver's attention away from the road can mean missing a slowing vehicle ahead or a merging car, especially in congested freeway sections like exit ramps.
Can weather or road conditions play a role in collisions like this?
Wet pavement, glare, or poor visibility can reduce traction and reaction time, though it's not yet known whether conditions were a factor in this crash.
