EXPOSITION PARK, Los Angeles County, Calif., Nov. 12, 2026 — Two vehicles collided early Wednesday morning, November 11, on northbound Interstate 110 at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the Exposition Park area, blocking lanes for hours, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported shortly before 2 a.m. in the main portion of northbound I-110 near the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard interchange. A black Mercedes sedan and a white Honda were involved, and a later log update identified the vehicles as a black Mercedes-Benz sedan and a Toyota Camry, both with major front-end damage.
A witness told dispatchers that one occupant was found outside of a vehicle after the collision. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the scene, and the CHP log shows the call was upgraded from a collision with unknown injuries to one involving an ambulance response.
The crash blocked multiple lanes, including the number one and number two lanes, for an extended period, with at least one tow truck requested to clear the vehicles. A rotation tow service was also contacted as cleanup continued into the early morning hours.
Authorities continue investigating the crash. We hope everyone who was hurt makes a full recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does speed affect the severity of a crash like this?
Higher speeds increase both the force of impact and the distance needed to stop, which commonly results in more serious vehicle damage and injuries when a collision happens on a freeway.
Why is distracted driving a particular risk on freeways?
Even a brief lapse in attention at highway speeds can cover a long distance before a driver reacts, making it harder to avoid a sudden slowdown or a vehicle ahead.
What should someone do immediately after a freeway crash?
Drivers should move to a safe area if possible, turn on hazard lights, check for injuries, and call 911. Staying inside a safely parked vehicle away from traffic lanes is usually recommended until help arrives.
