Small rockslide impacts Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Studio City
It was reported at around 3 p.m. 100 feet south of Mulholland Drive, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
It's unknown what caused the slide, but SkyCal flew over the scene where a pile of rocks and vegetation could be seen in the right lane of the road. It was surrounded by yellow tape while drivers had to briefly head into the oncoming lane to avoid the obstacle.
Firefighters also said that one person was hospitalized in the incident. They reported that one person had a tree fall and hit their car, which caused the victim to hit their head on the headrest of the vehicle.
The victim was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, firefighters said.
It's unclear how long the debris would remain in the road and if the other earth in the area would need to be secured to prevent future instances.

Amazon Autos adds CPO, used Hyundai vehicles to its online marketplace
This story was originally published on Automotive Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Automotive Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Amazon Autos, the online car buying marketplace of e-commerce giant Amazon, is adding used and certified pre-owned (CPO) Hyundai Motor America vehicles to its platform, the company announced on Monday. Customers will have the option to filter results on Amazon Autos to show either new or used Hyundai vehicles. But all vehicles offered for sale shown will be limited to a 75-mile radius of their location. In addition, all used vehicles sold via Amazon Autos will come with a three-day, 300-mile return policy and a minimum 30-day, 1,000-mile limited warranty. The first online sales of used Hyundai models will be in the Los Angles area, with plans to expand to other U.S. cities in the coming months. Dive Insight: Amazon launched the Amazon Autos online marketplace last December in partnership with Hyundai, which allows customers to purchase a new vehicle online and arrange for pickup at a local dealer of their choice. But the online store previously did not offer used vehicles. The addition of used and CPO vehicles to the Amazon Autos marketplace also allows dealers to sell their non-Hyundai inventory to expand customer buying choices, including vehicles from Ford, Toyota, Nissan, BMW and other brands. Switch Auto Insurance and Save Today! Great Rates and Award-Winning Service Affordable Auto Insurance, Customized for You The Insurance Savings You Expect 'We think of Amazon Autos as a marketplace where dealers can reach more customers,' said Fan Jin, director and GM of Amazon Autos, in an interview with Automotive Dive. 'We have heard time and again from our customers that it [car buying] is a difficult, complex purchase for them.' Jin said that since the launch of the Amazon Autos marketplace last December, customers have asked for more choices, including purchasing vehicles online from other OEMs. 'The number one ask from all customers is 'can we see more selection?'' said Jin. 'Can we see more other brands of cars, other vehicle conditions, new, used, certified, pre-owned cars.' In addition to offering more buying choices for Hyundai customers, many car shoppers today are seeking a digital car buying experience to avoid high-pressure sales tactics and pressure of buying a car from a dealer in-person. Amazon Autos says its marketplace offers car buyers a seamless e-commerce experience with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. The online marketplace, for example, provides comprehensive information for each listing, including vehicle history reports. Amazon Autos also offers seamless integration with Hyundai dealerships so that customers can more easily arrange for in-person test drives to help address some of the reservations they may have of purchasing a used vehicle online. Amazon Autos is offering what it calls 'acceptance test drives,' allowing prospective buyers to test drive a vehicle before they sign the final purchase paperwork at a Hyundai dealer. 'We have the best of both worlds,' said Jin. 'We're providing dealers with millions of shoppers, local customers, who will see their [Amazon Autos] store, and we're giving those customers really transparent access and ease of access to what's available.' Amazon Autos also vets Hyundai dealers to ensure customers don't have a bad car buying experience. 'It takes a lot of work as we onboard each dealer to configure them for e-commerce,' Jin said. In addition, Hyundai dealers are also required to adhere to Amazon Autos' own requirements for selling vehicles online in order to ensure customer satisfaction and a smooth buying experience. Shoppers can also read reviews of dealers before deciding on a pickup location. 'We look for dealers with high reputation scores, and we hold them to very high standards in how they sell, how they treat their customers,' said Jin. 'We want to give customers peace of mind when they're buying a used car through Amazon that they'll be taken care of.' Jin did not disclose how many Hyundai vehicles were sold via Amazon Autos since its launch in January, but confirmed that the marketplace for new vehicles is now available in 130 U.S. cities, including New York, Boston, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco and other major metropolitan areas. Jin did say, however, that the Amazon Autos car buying experience has received high marks from customers. 'The customer feedback has been off the charts good,' said Jin. 'Customers who transact, who buy their car through Amazon, give customer satisfaction scores, [Net Promoter Scores] that are many times over what the industry average is.' According to a Cox Automotive forecast released in February, a seamless, omnichannel car buying experience combining online and at-dealership activities is essential for succeeding in today's automotive retail market. Cox Automotive also reported earlier this year that car buying satisfaction reached a record high in 2024, driven by more transparent vehicle pricing, as well as the availability of improved digital tools for consumers, which Amazon Autos is providing. "We're excited to be an early participant in Amazon Autos' expansion," said Weslie Metcalf, managing partner of Premier Hyundai in Moreno Valley, California, in the release. 'We believe this collaboration has the potential to help us reach more customers and enhance our online sales process.' Jin added that many U.S. Hyundai dealers have expressed strong interest in being added to the platform, so much so that Amazon Autos has had its own challenges in onboarding new dealer sales partners. But according to Jin, the company is working to address it. 'The second positive for us here is that we have a lot of dealer interest, and really our bottleneck is internal, where we have a bottleneck of onboarding dealers,' said Jin. 'So we're very bullish on the program.' Editor's note: This story has been updated to include additional information provided by Amazon Autos. Participating Hyundai dealerships can also list other pre-owned brands in their inventory for purchase.

Should You Buy Lucid Group (LCID) Stock Before Aug. 5? Here's What History Says
Key Points Lucid Group has already reported vehicle production and delivery numbers for the second quarter, but will publish full Q2 results on Aug. 5. The company has historically seen big sell-offs following its earnings reports. Past performance can't predict what will happen to Lucid stock after earnings, but its share price could make a big move. 10 stocks we like better than Lucid Group › Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) stock saw a big pop last month after the company announced that it had entered into a robotaxi partnership with Uber Technologies. Uber will purchase 20,000 or more of the automaker's vehicles over the next six years and use them as key components of its robotaxi fleet. Lucid's share price has since had a substantial pullback. There will soon be another big potential catalyst that could spur substantial moves for the stock. The electric-vehicle (EV) specialist is set to release its second-quarter report and host an earnings conference call after the market closes on Aug. 5, and investors will be taking a close look at its margins and bottom line. If you're wondering what history says about your chances of success with buying Lucid's stock ahead of earnings, take a look at the chart below and read on for a deeper look at dynamics that could shape the company's valuation. Lucid's stock has historically struggled after earnings As the chart above shows, it's historically been a bad move to buy Lucid's shares ahead of the company's earnings reports. Most of its quarterly releases have corresponded with big sell-offs for the stock, and the EV specialist's share price is now down roughly 87% over the last three years. Sales and earnings performances have generally come in below the levels needed to spur gains for the stock: Lucid has posted large losses across its history as a publicly traded company. At the same time, the business's sales growth has been very uneven after an initial ramp-up period. Heading into the upcoming earnings report, the business has recorded a net loss of roughly $2.4 billion on sales of roughly $870 million across the trailing-12-month (TTM) period. In other words, Lucid has lost roughly $2.76 for every $1 in revenue that it's generated over that stretch. There are good reasons to think that losses will continue to come in at high levels for the foreseeable future. Will Lucid stock see another sell-off after the Q2 report? Because Lucid announces its vehicle production and delivery numbers after each quarter, investors already have some key insights into what to expect with the second-quarter report. In the update it published at the beginning of July, the company announced that it had produced 3,863 vehicles and delivered 3,309 vehicles in Q2. For comparison, it produced 2,110 vehicles and delivered 2,394 vehicles in last year's second quarter. The rollout of the Gravity SUV has helped spur a significant uptick in production and deliveries, but the stock could see a big pullback if the upcoming Q2 report arrives with a wider-than-expected loss. Lucid's path to profitability hinges on achieving economies of scale that allow it to shift into posting positive gross margins on each vehicle sold, and then continuing on that track until it can deliver positive operating income margins. As things stand, it currently costs the company far more to produce each one of its vehicles than is recouped through a sale. Historically, Lucid Group's earnings reports have arrived with wide losses that have driven sell-offs for the stock. Given that shares already trade at a severely beaten-down price compared to where they were a few years ago, there's no guarantee that this dynamic will play out again after the next earnings report -- but investors will likely be looking to see that Lucid has a feasible path to eventually delivering big margin improvements.
