A multi-vehicle collision occurred late last night on the southbound lanes of Interstate 405 in Los Angeles, CA, causing significant traffic disruptions. The incident was reported at approximately 10:18 PM, involving four vehicles, including a gray Honda Civic, a white Toyota RAV4, an Alfa Romeo, and a blue Tesla Model Y.
Initial reports indicated that the collision began when the gray Honda Civic struck an unknown vehicle, leading to a chain reaction that involved the other cars. By 10:21 PM, it was confirmed that both the Alfa Romeo and the unknown vehicle were totaled and blocking the second lane of the highway.
Emergency services, including the Los Angeles County Fire Department, were dispatched to the scene at around 10:40 PM. Upon arrival, they assessed the situation and found that one individual reported experiencing back pain but refused medical assistance. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported among the other parties involved.
Towing services were requested for all vehicles involved, as they were deemed non-drivable. By 10:51 PM, multiple tow trucks arrived to remove the damaged vehicles, which had caused significant lane blockages and traffic delays.
Authorities worked quickly to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. As the vehicles were towed away, the lanes began to reopen, allowing drivers to continue their journeys. This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially in high-traffic areas.
Motorists are reminded to remain vigilant and cautious while navigating busy highways to prevent accidents. The California Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision to gather further details.
