Rain Attributed to Several Los Angeles Car Accidents

Wet conditions on southland roads can be a recipe for disaster. Rain is attributed to several accidents in the Los Angeles area last week. According to the California Highway Patrol, they reported over 100 accidents on Friday morning between midnight and 9:00 AM, December 11, 2009, as opposed to 60 accidents the week before.

A Los Angeles auto accident was reported along the 10 Freeway when a driver slammed into another vehicle. The driver apparently didn’t see a prior accident ahead and was unable to stop the vehicle in time. According to officials, three people were injured in the wreck and the driver was taken into custody.

Police reported another accident in Eagle Rock when a minivan slammed into the side of a building. Though, the cause of the accident is unknown, wet conditions are believed to be a contributing factor.

“Bad weather, and he was probably speeding also,” said Los Angeles Police department officer Jose Rodriguez. “He lost control of the vehicle and drove into the building.” The driver’s identity was not made known.

A third accident was reported in Echo Park. According to reports, a tanker truck was seen halfway off the road on the northbound 5 Freeway.

In south Los Angeles, a car was believed to have struck a fire hydrant, causing water to shoot into the air and onto the road.
