A three-vehicle traffic collision on Bouquet Canyon Road resulted in multiple lane closures and an overturned vehicle late Thursday morning.

An SUV collided with a SmartCar near the intersection with Urbandale Avenue, flipping the smaller vehicle onto its roof.

Three people involved in the crash sustained minor injuries. However, no one was transported to a medical facility, said Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. Andrew Ahten.

After taking statements from witnesses, sheriff’s deputies worked to clear the road of debris. 

A team of three deputies worked together to manually flip the overturned vehicle back onto its wheels so that it could be more easily towed from the scene.
