A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 405 at the Culver Boulevard off-ramp in Culver City, CA. The incident took place shortly after midnight and involved a black Chrysler 300 and a dark Crown Victoria, resulting in debris scattered across the roadway.

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene after the collision was reported at 12:05 AM. Upon arrival, responders found both vehicles blocking the off-ramp, making them undriveable. Shortly after the initial collision, a second traffic incident occurred, complicating the situation further.

Witnesses reported that one male occupant was thrown from one of the vehicles during the collision. Fortunately, he was able to walk around afterward, suggesting that his injuries were likely non-life-threatening. However, the presence of debris and the two blocked vehicles created a hazardous environment for other drivers.

Traffic was significantly impacted as all lanes on the off-ramp were closed to allow emergency personnel to manage the scene. A tow truck was requested to remove the vehicles, and by 12:17 AM, all lanes remained blocked as cleanup efforts continued.

Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision, including potential causes and contributing factors. Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the area and to expect delays as the investigation unfolds.

This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially in high-traffic areas. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic laws to prevent similar incidents in the future.

As cleanup progresses, updates will be provided regarding the reopening of the off-ramp and any further developments related to the investigation.
