Monday’s collision on Lindley Ave in Encino highlights how quickly a routine drive can turn into a dangerous situation. Lindley Ave is a busy north-south corridor in the San Fernando Valley, intersecting with several high-traffic streets, which can increase the risk of collisions, particularly during midday hours when drivers may be rushing between errands, work, or school pickups.
