A traffic collision involving two Ford vehicles occurred today on Interstate 605 South near Beverly Boulevard in Pico Rivera, California. The incident was reported at approximately 1:15 PM, and emergency services were dispatched shortly thereafter.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision. However, the situation escalated when one of the drivers, who appeared to be under the influence, was seen walking into traffic. This alarming behavior prompted a call back from a concerned witness, who expressed fear for the safety of the driver and others on the roadway.
At around 1:30 PM, the reporting party indicated that the driver, accompanied by an eight-month-old child, continued to walk into traffic, raising concerns about the potential danger to themselves and passing motorists.

As the situation developed, it was clarified that a second Ford vehicle, which had pulled up behind the reporting party, was not involved in the collision.

Both vehicles were located on the right shoulder of the freeway, but there was no immediate information regarding whether they were drivable or required towing. The prompt response from emergency services helped to mitigate the situation and prevent further complications on the busy freeway.
