The 15 Freeway, a major thoroughfare used by countless residents and travelers, was congested as a result of the accident, leading to traffic delays near the scene. At the moment, the actual cause of the bus toppling over remains undetermined. The bus's precarious resting position, on its side, necessitated an urgent and complex emergency response detailed in the KTLA coverage of the event.
