A multi-vehicle traffic collision occurred today on the I710 North freeway in Lynwood, California, involving four vehicles: a light blue Honda, a Toyota Camry, a white ambulance, and another unspecified vehicle. The incident was reported around 1:53 PM, leading to significant lane blockages and an immediate response from emergency services.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) was notified of the collision, which escalated to a traffic incident requiring an ambulance. Emergency units arrived on the scene by 2:25 PM to manage the situation and provide assistance. Although the report did not detail the extent of injuries, the presence of an ambulance suggests that medical attention was likely needed for those involved.
The crash resulted in the blockage of multiple lanes on the I710 North, particularly affecting the first three lanes near the interchange with the I105. This situation caused significant traffic delays, and motorists were advised to avoid the area until the roadway was cleared. The vehicles involved were reported as not drivable and were awaiting towing services.
CHP officers coordinated traffic control to ensure safety and minimize disruption for other drivers. They set up cones to block off the affected lanes while emergency services worked to assess the situation and provide aid to those injured.
Motorists are encouraged to remain cautious and aware of their surroundings, especially in areas where accidents have occurred. The safety of all road users is paramount, and staying informed about traffic conditions can help prevent further incidents.
The CHP will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary. Drivers are reminded to exercise patience and follow any detours or instructions from law enforcement.
