A multi-vehicle collision occurred this morning on the northbound Interstate 405 near Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA, involving five vehicles, including a black Toyota Corolla and a Nissan Frontier. The incident was reported at approximately 7:01 AM today, prompting a swift response from emergency services.
The collision resulted in a box truck blocking the exit lane, which complicated the situation for other drivers. Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the individuals involved in the crash. By 7:07 AM, all vehicles had been moved to the right shoulder, allowing some traffic to resume. However, the box truck remained in a position that obstructed the exit lane, necessitating the arrival of tow services.
Tow trucks were called to the scene to assist with the removal of the vehicles, as none were deemed drivable following the collision. Emergency responders worked diligently to ensure the safety of all involved and to clear the roadway as quickly as possible. By 7:40 AM, the situation was under control, and no further complications were reported.
Motorists in the area experienced some delays due to the incident, but the prompt actions of the California Highway Patrol and emergency services helped minimize the impact on traffic flow.
