WEST LOS ANGELES, Calif., (July 22, 2026) — A fiery collision involving an overturned SUV and a car happened Wednesday night in West Los Angeles on the I-405 Freeway, near Palms Boulevard.
The incident was reported on July 22nd at approximately 11:10 p.m. on the southbound lanes of the I-405 near Palms Boulevard, according to incident logs.

The vehicles were blocking the middle and slow lanes, creating significant traffic congestion.
Emergency responders were promptly dispatched to the scene, and fire units were reportedly still on the way as of 11:19 p.m. The collision was severe enough to prompt a change in emergency response code from a traffic collision with unknown injuries to an emergency response involving injuries.
