Car Accident Metro Bus Collision in Bellflower
BELLFLOWER, CA (May 9, 2016) – Morning commuters were interrupted early Monday morning in the Los Angeles County city of Bellflower due to a collision involving a car and a Metro bus. California Highway Patrol was called to the scene of an accident on the 91 freeway around 5:40 am near the Downey Avenue off-ramp.
According to reports, a black Chevrolet rear-ended a Metro bus near the off-ramp. Details are still emerging as to how the accident actually occurred but emergency crews were spotted at the scene of the car accident helping to remove at least one person from the Chevrolet. It is also still unclear whether or not any passengers were on the Metro bus at the time the bus accident took place. Morning commuters had to wait while a total of 3 lanes of the eastbound 91 freeway were closed down so that emergency crews could clear both vehicles. Additionally, commuters traveling westbound on 91 had to deal with slowing traffic near the crash site while drivers tried to get a closer look at the accident.
At this time, CHP is investigating whether or not any drugs or alcohol were a contributing factor in the collision. Distracted driving —especially in the late night/early morning hours— is one of the leading causes for car accidents in the US. Luckily for car accident victims, California personal injury laws have been put in place to protect their rights.
