Accidents Mar Los Angeles Freeways During Morning Commute

BALDWIN PARK, CA — Rain equals brake lights, accidents and stalled morning commutes across the Southland.

The CHP logged 110 crashes on Los Angeles freeways during this morning's rainy commute, compared with just seven during the same period a week ago, when it did not rain.

The California Highway Patrol statistics covered the period from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. both days.

Last Monday this year was for many people a holiday due to the New Year's, so the spike in the number of traffic crashes during the morning commute period was not as significant as it normally might have been.
