Police are investigating reports of a possible shooting on the northbound lanes of the 110 Freeway in South Los Angeles. 

They were first dispatched to the area after reports of a traffic collision near the Century Boulevard off-ramp, but later learned that there was a possible shooting following a witness who detailed they possibly heard gunshots, prompting a large scale investigation. 

All lanes of traffic heading north were blocked as officers scoured the area, while the southbound lanes also experienced a backup as drivers slowed to get a look at the ongoing investigation. 

One person was taken to a nearby hospital as a result of the collision. Their status was not immediately known. 

It was unclear when lanes would reopen to traffic.
