Los Angeles, CA (May 18, 2025) – According to Cal Fire and troopers with the California Highway Patrol (CHP), their crews were en route to a crash in Santa Fe Springs on Sunday, May 18.
Just after 2:00 p.m., CHP troopers and EMTs were dispatched to the westbound side of Interstate 10 near the transition ramp for Crenshaw Boulevard. Several lanes of the highway were shut down while officers wrapped up their on-scene inquiry. Authorities have not yet released information regarding the number of individuals injured or the severity of their injuries; however, the California Highway Patrol is investigating the incident to determine the cause of the collision.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their family members. We hope for their full recovery at this time.
Car Accidents in California
Multi-vehicle crashes on California’s vast highway system are, unfortunately, all too common, often leading to multiple fatalities, catastrophic injuries, and staggering property losses. While these roads are essential for commerce and daily travel, the sheer volume of traffic, combined with high speeds, creates conditions where one driver’s momentary lapse can cascade into a devastating chain reaction. Understanding how factors such as distracted driving, abrupt lane changes, inclement weather, and sudden braking contribute to pile-ups is the first step toward protecting yourself and asserting your rights if disaster strikes.
California law gives injured motorists and passengers two years from the date of the collision to file a personal injury claim. That window can close quickly when medical appointments, vehicle repairs, and insurance calls consume your attention. Consulting a seasoned Santa Fe Springs auto-accident attorney as soon as possible helps preserve critical evidence—think dash-cam footage, black-box data, and eyewitness testimony—before it disappears. It also ensures that every liable party, from individual drivers to commercial carriers or roadway-maintenance contractors, is held accountable for the role they played.
