115 Traffic Accidents During Morning Commute

According to the California Highway Patrol, the roads were a mess on a rainy Thursday morning in Los Angeles.

There were 115 traffic accidents reported during the rainy morning commute Thursday on Los Angeles freeways, compared with 55 during the same period a week ago, when it did not rain, the California Highway Patrol reported.

The accidents were reported between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m. on both days, said CHP Officer Ed Jacobs.

In one of the accidents Thursday morning, a big rig jackknifed about 6:20 a.m. and caused the closure of the transition road from the eastbound Ventura(134) Freeway to the westbound Foothill (210) Freeway in Pasadena, the CHP reported. The closure was continuing past 10 a.m. as crews worked to clear the scene.

Not sure. There's not always an immediate answer to helicopters circling. Did anyone else hear orRead More see this? How long did it last? Was it just 1 copter or many police units?
