Los Angeles, CA (August 18, 2025) – A multi-vehicle crash at the intersection of Sherman Way and Gloria Ave left several individuals injured early Monday afternoon in the Reseda area of Los Angeles.
The collision, reported just after 1:00 p.m., resulted in visible damage to at least two vehicles and prompted a swift response from paramedics and fire crews. First responders, including emergency medical services, evaluated those hurt in the crash and provided on-site treatment for a range of injuries sustained during the impact.
Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with one vehicle blocking the eastbound lanes of Sherman Way while responders navigated traffic to reach the injured. Authorities worked quickly to secure the intersection, assess the roadway for hazards, and coordinate with tow services to clear the vehicles involved.
At this time, the severity of the injuries and the total number of victims remain unconfirmed. It is not yet known whether any of the injured required transport to a local hospital.
Los Angeles Police Department units remained on scene to collect statements and document evidence as part of an active investigation into the circumstances leading up to the crash. Factors such as speed, right-of-way violations, or distracted driving may be reviewed as part of the ongoing inquiry.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this incident, and we hope for a full recovery for those who were injured.
Intersection Collisions in California
Busy intersections like Sherman Way and Gloria Ave are common locations for injury-related traffic collisions across Los Angeles. With heavy vehicle flow, frequent turning traffic, and limited visibility at times, these intersections present numerous hazards for even the most cautious drivers.
Monday’s crash underscores the growing concern surrounding urban traffic safety, particularly in areas of the San Fernando Valley where residential and commercial zones overlap. In many cases, crashes at intersections occur during routine commutes and can lead to significant injuries, property damage, and emotional trauma.
Victims of intersection collisions often require not only immediate medical attention but also continued care that may span weeks or months. In addition to physical recovery, individuals must also navigate insurance claims, lost wages, and the mental toll that such crashes can impose.
Public safety campaigns continue to emphasize the importance of yielding properly, obeying traffic signals, and avoiding distractions—especially in neighborhoods where high volumes of cross-traffic are common. Still, many victims find themselves caught off-guard by the negligence of others.
