A three‑vehicle crash on the 18300 block of West Sherman Way in Reseda injured six people shortly before 10 a.m. on Friday, September 18, 2026. The collision involved two passenger cars and a Metro Line 162 bus traveling along the busy San Fernando Valley arterial.
Los Angeles Fire Department units arrived quickly at the scene, followed by Metro emergency personnel. First responders assessed the condition of the occupants of all three vehicles and provided on‑site medical care before transporting the injured to nearby hospitals. The bus, part of the city’s public transit system, sustained damage that required it to be taken out of service for the remainder of the day.
The two automobiles involved also suffered significant impact, prompting police to close a portion of West Sherman Way while investigators documented the scene. Traffic on the thoroughfare, a key route for commuters in the valley, was rerouted around the incident until the roadway was cleared and deemed safe for normal flow.
Authorities did not release the identities of the injured parties, but confirmed that all six individuals received treatment for injuries ranging from minor to more serious. The Los Angeles Fire Department and Metro indicated that the rapid response helped prevent further harm.
The crash occurred on a stretch of West Sherman Way known for high traffic volumes during morning commute hours. Emergency crews emphasized the importance of swift coordination among city services when accidents occur on such heavily traveled streets.
Investigators from the Los Angeles Police Department will continue to examine the circumstances that led to the collision, including vehicle positions and any potential traffic signal issues. No arrests have been reported at this time.
