A multi-vehicle traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 605 near the Telegraph Road on-ramp in Santa Fe Springs, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a red Toyota Camry, a gray Honda Accord, and a black sedan. A fourth vehicle, a black Nissan Sentra, was later reported with significant front-end damage.
The collision was first reported at approximately 1:28 PM, with the initial reporting party in the front vehicle unable to see the situation behind them. By 1:30 PM, it was confirmed that there were no reported injuries from the front-most vehicle, although the status of the other vehicles remained unclear.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP), responded promptly to the scene. By 1:39 PM, all vehicles involved had been moved to the right-hand side of the road to clear the traffic lanes. The incident was classified as a traffic collision with injuries en route, prompting further emergency response.
The black Nissan Sentra, which had major front-end damage, was identified as requiring a tow truck. The presence of significant damage suggests that at least one vehicle may need towing services, although the final disposition of all vehicles involved was not explicitly stated.
The scene was cleared by 1:52 PM, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. While no injuries were reported at the time of the initial response, the situation underscores the importance of caution on the roads, especially in busy areas like Santa Fe Springs.
Motorists are advised to remain vigilant and drive safely, particularly in high-traffic zones where accidents can occur unexpectedly. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation and urges drivers to report any hazardous conditions on the road.
