Los Angeles County Has 365 Crashes in 4 Hours on Thursday Morning CHP Says

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CA (November 30, 2018) – California Highway Patrol reported that in a four-hour period—from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.—Los Angeles County had 365 crashes on Thursday. The November 29 accidents occurred on rainy roads during the morning commute.

Big rigs were involved in a number of the collisions, which forced authorities to close several lanes of various freeways, including the 101 Freeway, 118 Freeway, and 134 Freeway. The lane closures on stretches of those freeways caused traffic snarls.

In some areas flooding from the rainfall occurred—minor in some areas, worse in others—which increased the difficulty for drivers. California Highway Patrol had recommendations for drivers, explaining that rain doesn’t cause the crashes, it’s how drivers drive in the rain that does.

CHP recommended that drivers turn on headlights, driver slower on rain-slicked roads, and allow more space between the vehicle in front and the one they are driving in. They also said that drivers should stay in the lanes in the middle of the roadway, since the lanes on the outside are more susceptible to flooding.

CHP also cautioned drivers to never drive through flooded roads. They also offered a whimsical bit of advice: Drive like a huge pot of grandma’s chili is on the seat next to the driver without a lid. Drive so that the chili doesn’t spill, CHP said.
