LOS ANGELES, Los Angeles County, Calif., Nov. 11, 2026 — A motorcyclist was hurt on Tuesday morning, November 10, in a crash involving a Toyota RAV4 and a third SUV on southbound State Route 110 at Academy Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported shortly before 9:45 a.m. near the Academy Road area of the freeway. Dispatch notes describe the rider going down in the middle lanes, with the motorcycle, a blue Toyota RAV4 and a second SUV involved in the collision, which blocked the second lane.
Officers held lanes closed while they worked the scene, and traffic was backed up as crews cleared the wreckage. The CHP log shows lanes reopening in stages, with the fast lane the last to open as cleanup finished. A tow was called to remove at least one vehicle from the freeway. The Freeway Service Patrol also responded and later closed out its portion of the call.
The incident remains under investigation. We hope those who were hurt recover quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What gear helps protect a motorcyclist in a crash like this?
A DOT-approved helmet, a riding jacket and pants built for abrasion resistance, gloves and over-the-ankle boots all reduce the severity of common road-rash and head injuries in a fall or collision.
What usually causes crashes between motorcycles and SUVs or cars?
Common causes include a driver failing to see the motorcycle in traffic, sudden lane changes, following too closely, and a vehicle turning across the rider's path.
Why do motorcycle crashes tend to cause more serious injuries than crashes between two cars?
A motorcycle offers no outer frame or airbags to absorb impact, so riders are more exposed to direct contact with other vehicles or the pavement, usually resulting in more severe injury even in lower-speed collisions.
How do left-turning vehicles contribute to motorcycle collisions?
A car turning left at an intersection or merging across lanes may misjudge a motorcycle's speed or distance, cutting into its path and leaving the rider little room to brake or swerve.
