A multi-vehicle traffic collision occurred this morning on the northbound lanes of Interstate 605, near Valley Boulevard in Los Angeles County, CA. The incident was first reported at approximately 7:39 AM, when a white Chevrolet Tahoe collided with a white Ford Expedition, blocking the number one lane of the highway.
At 7:43 AM, a black Toyota Spark was identified as also being involved in the incident, complicating the traffic situation further. Emergency services were notified shortly after, and units from the Los Angeles County Fire Department were dispatched to the scene to manage the situation and ensure public safety.
By 8:10 AM, emergency responders confirmed they were en route, and traffic was being held to prevent further accidents. The vehicles involved were confirmed to be not drivable, leading to a request for a tow truck at 8:14 AM, with an estimated arrival time of around 15 minutes.
Fortunately, there were no confirmed injuries reported at this time. The collision caused significant traffic delays, with the number one lane and the high-occupancy vehicle lane blocked for an extended period.
