Compton, CA (August 25, 2025) – Emergency responders from Compton and surrounding agencies rushed to the scene of a two-vehicle crash early Monday morning on eastbound State Route 91 at Alameda St. Paramedics and fire crews provided urgent care to those injured, including an individual found trapped inside an overturned vehicle.
The incident occurred just after midnight at approximately 12:08 AM, prompting California Highway Patrol to classify the event as a confirmed injury crash. According to dispatch reports, one of the vehicles overturned and landed on its roof near the Alameda off-ramp, not far from a nearby storage facility.
The caller reported that both his mother and father were in the vehicle at the time of the collision. Emergency units confirmed one party was still inside the overturned vehicle when they arrived. Fire crews made contact with the victim at the rear of the property and began rendering aid on site.
As a result of the crash, all eastbound lanes were initially stopped at Alameda while authorities worked to manage traffic, secure the scene, and render medical assistance. The Alameda off-ramp was also temporarily shut down to allow responders the safest and most direct access.
Falcon Towing was called to assist with vehicle recovery, and CHP began the process of clearing debris and coordinating vehicle removals. By around 12:50 AM, the mainline traffic had resumed on EB SR-91, though ramp closures continued for a short time to accommodate cleanup efforts.
At least one individual sustained injuries in the crash, though specific details on their condition have not yet been released. CHP has not confirmed whether the second vehicle remained at the scene or fled prior to responders’ arrival.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their loved ones as they begin their recovery.
Rollover Accidents on California Highways
This serious rollover crash on SR-91 near Alameda highlights the severe consequences that can result from even a two-vehicle collision—especially when one car overturns and traps occupants inside. Rollover incidents are among the most dangerous types of collisions, often leading to serious injuries or fatalities due to the force and disorientation involved.
In this case, the crash occurred near midnight, a time when fatigue, low visibility, and reduced traffic awareness can all contribute to higher accident risk. The fact that fire personnel found a victim still inside the overturned vehicle emphasizes the urgency of rescue efforts and the critical importance of rapid emergency access, which was facilitated by the temporary closure of the Alameda off-ramp.
California’s freeway system, including busy corridors like SR-91 through Los Angeles County, sees thousands of crashes each year involving overturned or disabled vehicles. These accidents frequently cause major traffic disruptions and create hazardous conditions for everyone involved—from victims and bystanders to first responders and tow crews.
Vehicle rollovers can result from a variety of causes, including high-speed lane changes, collision impact angles, and instability due to vehicle type or road design. In most cases, prompt medical treatment is essential, particularly when victims are pinned inside or experience head, neck, or internal trauma during the rollover.
Residents in areas like Compton are reminded to exercise extreme caution during late-night driving hours. Maintaining safe speeds, increasing following distance, and staying alert to potential hazards—like merging traffic or disabled vehicles—can help reduce the chances of a serious crash.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a rollover or multi-vehicle freeway accident, seeking professional help is a crucial step in the recovery process. Navigating the aftermath—medical treatment, insurance claims, legal options—can be overwhelming without reliable guidance.
