Winning Trials since 1979

Los Angeles, CA (August 13, 2025) – A serious traffic collision occurred Monday afternoon near the intersection of 173rd St and Manchester Ave, leaving one individual trapped inside a vehicle. The crash took place shortly after 3:15 p.m., triggering a full-scale emergency response from Los Angeles County Fire units.

According to dispatch reports, the collision involved significant damage, with responders noting that at least one person was physically unable to exit their vehicle due to entrapment. Units from Engine 171, Squad 172, and Engine 163 were assigned to the scene to assist with extrication and provide immediate medical care.

Firefighters used specialized tools to safely remove the trapped occupant, though the exact condition of the individual has not yet been disclosed. It is unknown how many vehicles were involved or whether additional injuries occurred during the crash.

Manchester Ave was partially closed near 173rd St during the emergency response, and traffic delays were reported in the area throughout the afternoon. Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the collision.

We extend our thoughts to those involved and hope for a swift recovery for the injured party.

Entrapment Collisions and Rescue Responses in Los Angeles

Collisions resulting in vehicle entrapment, such as the one near 173rd and Manchester, are among the most dangerous emergency scenarios that first responders face. These incidents often indicate high-impact crashes where vehicle frames are deformed, doors jammed, or occupants pinned by debris—conditions that demand precise technical rescue efforts.

In this case, Los Angeles County Fire deployed multiple units to assist with the extrication process. Rescues of this nature require hydraulic tools, coordination between fire crews and paramedics, and careful removal of vehicle components to avoid worsening any injuries.

Urban areas like South Los Angeles see a high volume of traffic and frequent collision hotspots, particularly along major corridors like Manchester Ave. Many crashes occur at intersections with limited visibility or high-speed turns—factors that can turn a routine accident into a life-threatening event.

For victims trapped in vehicles, timely rescue is crucial. Even if injuries aren’t immediately visible, the stress placed on the body while confined—combined with the potential for internal trauma—can escalate quickly. Following rescue, victims often face prolonged recovery periods and the need for legal and medical support.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash involving vehicle entrapment, it’s essential to act quickly. From documenting injuries and accident details to securing proper representation, these steps ensure the best chance for a full and supported recovery.
