GLENDALE, Los Angeles County, Calif., Oct. 27, 2026 — Two vehicles collided on Monday afternoon, October 26, on westbound State Route 134 at the Pacific Avenue offramp in Glendale, according to the California Highway Patrol. The crash left at least one person injured and blocked the slow lane for a time.
A silver Toyota Corolla and a white sedan collided in the slow lane shortly after 2 p.m. A caller reported that the other driver appeared to have their head down and possibly asleep inside the vehicle, and declined to move it out of traffic, prompting dispatchers to direct the reporting party to pull their own car to the shoulder instead.
CHP units requested a rolling tow as a precaution and worked to box in the disabled vehicle before officers arrived. Once on scene, officers confirmed the vehicle had been turned off and that its keys were secured. The log does not specify what injuries, if any, the drivers sustained or whether anyone was taken to a hospital.
The roadway was fully cleared by about 2:41 p.m. No further details on the cause of the crash or any citations have been released. The incident remains under review by the California Highway Patrol.
Our thoughts are with those who were injured, and we wish them a full recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What injuries are most common in two-vehicle crashes like this one?
Neck and back strain, concussions, and bruising from seatbelts or airbags are common, even in collisions that happen at lower highway speeds. Some injuries, particularly to the head or neck, may not be obvious right away.
What usually causes crashes like this on highway off-ramps?
Sudden slowdowns near exits, following too closely, and driver fatigue or distraction are frequent factors. Off-ramp areas also see abrupt lane changes as drivers merge toward the exit.
Why is drowsy or distracted driving so dangerous on freeways?
A driver who is not alert can fail to notice slowing traffic ahead until it's too late to stop safely. Even a few seconds of inattention at freeway speed can close the gap between vehicles entirely.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Glendale, CA
If you're involved in a crash on a busy freeway stretch like SR-134, try to move to the shoulder if your vehicle is drivable and it's safe to do so. Turn on hazard lights and stay inside the vehicle if you're stopped in a travel lane, since exiting into live traffic is dangerous. Call 911 to report the collision and request medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, as some symptoms surface hours later. Exchange information with the other driver when possible, and document the scene with photos if you're able. Keep a copy of the CHP incident report for your records once it becomes available.
