Sinkhole Screws Up Torrance Commute Big Time This Morning

It's a double-shot of espresso kind of morning for commuters in Torrance this morning, after a 3-foot-deep sinkhole on Hawthorne Boulevard south of Sepulveda Boulevard is causing traffic delays and detours, according to the Daily Breeze. "Traffic is slow, and motorists should expect delays throughout the day as crews work to fix the street. Southern California Edison crews are on the scene, along with emergency personnel."

The sinkhole was first reported at around 10:30 last night. Two lanes of Hawthorne Boulevard are closed down. Need an alt route for this drive, or your commute in another part of town? Here you go.
