A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 105 near Long Beach Boulevard in Lynwood, CA. The incident involved a motorcycle, a blue Infiniti QX60, and a red Chevrolet Malibu, resulting in injuries to the motorcycle rider, who was found down on the roadway.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene at approximately 9:19 AM. The motorcycle rider was blocking the #1 lane, while the blue Infiniti obstructed the #2 lane. The position of the red Chevrolet Malibu was not detailed, but it was confirmed that all three vehicles were involved in the collision.
Upon arrival, emergency responders worked quickly to assist the injured motorcycle rider and manage the traffic situation. The rider sustained injuries, prompting the need for medical assistance. Traffic was significantly impacted due to the blockage caused by the vehicles, with the #1 lane remaining closed for an extended period.
By 9:53 AM, the #2 and #3 lanes were reopened, allowing some traffic flow to resume. However, the High-Occupancy Vehicle lane remained blocked as emergency services continued to work at the scene. A tow truck was requested to remove the vehicles, as their positions were obstructing traffic.
The situation was complicated by heavy traffic in the area, which delayed the tow truck's arrival. By 9:55 AM, authorities confirmed that the #3 lane was open, but the High-Occupancy Vehicle lane continued to be held for safety reasons.
Drivers are urged to exercise caution in the area as the situation develops. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available regarding the condition of the motorcycle rider and the overall traffic situation.
