Two accidents on the 170 Freeway

Two separate three-vehicle collisions left the southbound Hollywood Freeway clogged much of Sunday afternoon.
No one was injured in the first accident, about 1:45 p.m., which blocked the three right lanes near Riverside Drive for about an hour, said Jose Nunez of the California Highway Patrol.
Then about 3 p.m., CHP officers stopped to investigate a stalled car on the freeway near Burbank Boulevard, Nunez said. Their patrol car was rear-ended by another car. That collision pushed the patrol car out into traffic where it was struck by a second car.
Seven passengers from the two oncoming cars were taken to hospitals with moderate injuries, Los Angeles fire officials said.
All lanes were blocked for more than an hour.
