DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19 (KNN) – A crashed vehicle was held only by a severely bent, metal railing from falling onto a freeway below in the downtown area of Los Angeles.
First responders from the Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles Fire Department, and California Highway Patrol were dispatched around 2:19 a.m. Tuesday to a reported crash at the intersection of Aliso and Broadway.
Upon arrival, they discovered an Audi sedan that had crashed through a metal railing on Broadway. The vehicle was precariously close to falling onto the 101 Freeway below.
The driver, a male, appeared to be uninjured. He was believed to have been traveling north on Arcadia while attempting to make a left turn onto Broadway, but it was determined that he was going too fast, which led to the crash.
LAPD Central Traffic units evaluated the man to determine if he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Authorities ultimately took him into custody for driving under the influence.
To ensure safety and prevent any debris from potentially falling onto traffic below, CHP temporarily shut down the northbound lane of the 101 while a tow truck removed the vehicle.
