A Lexus Hybrid SUV, pulling out of Lower Palisades Circle to make a left hand turn, was struck by a truck heading up Palisades Drive this morning. Only minor injuries were reported.
Several accidents have occurred at the intersection and residents of the Palisades Highlands have asked city officials, in the past, for a controlled intersection at Palisades Drive and Lower Palisades Circle. The requests were denied. The intersections in this part of Palisades Drive are particularly dangerous because the slope of the incline prevents good visibility for both drivers coming up the hill and drivers attempting to turn left.
A single car accident resulting in a flipped SUV and a lane closure by LAPD occurred this morning (March 4, 2009) around 7:30 AM on Sunset Boulevard headed westbound just past the Allenford intersection by Paul Revere Middle School. This is a notorious segment of Sunset that has seen numerous serious accidents over the years. The wreck was just being cleared at 8:45 AM, and the driver was not present at this time (when these photos were taken). The current condition of those involved in the accident is unknown. It is also unknown if there were any passengers.
An SUV and a truck collided head-on at Sunset, just west of Brooktree this afternoon. Several ambulances were seen transporting individuals from the scene.
