Rain across Southern California early Wednesday has flooded roads, spun out cars on freeways and slowed traffic to a crawl across much of the region.
Shortly after 4 a.m., a semi truck skidded off the road heading from the northbound 710 Freeway to the 60 Freeway and dangled precariously off the transition bridge, forcing the California Highway Patrol to close the ramp. By 5 a.m., dozens of crashes had been reported across the region amid steady rainfall, snarling traffic along most major freeways in Los Angeles County.
Rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches are expected for much of the region, but the San Gabriel Mountains could see up to 3 inches of precipitation. Peak rainfall rates are expected to range from 0.5 to nearly an inch per hour across Los Angeles County. There’s also a chance of thunderstorms, which could bring even higher rainfall rates.
