A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on the eastbound 105 Freeway in Paramount, CA, involving three vehicles: a gray Honda Accord, a white Toyota Tacoma, and a motorcycle. The incident took place in the high-occupancy vehicle lane near Garfield Avenue at approximately 4:41 PM.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles County Fire Department, were dispatched to the scene shortly after the collision. While the report did not specify the extent of any injuries, an ambulance was requested to provide medical assistance to those involved.
The collision resulted in significant traffic disruption, as the vehicles were blocking the HOV lane. A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the vehicles, which were likely towed due to their obstruction of traffic. The incident created heavy congestion on the eastbound 105 Freeway, particularly for drivers approaching from the southbound 710 Freeway.
By 5:22 PM, the California Highway Patrol had successfully cleared the incident and reopened the affected lanes. However, the aftermath of the collision continued to impact traffic flow, with delays reported in the surrounding areas as drivers navigated through the congestion.
Motorists in the vicinity were advised to exercise caution and seek alternate routes if possible, as the residual effects of the incident lingered. The California Highway Patrol and local emergency services worked diligently to ensure the safety of all individuals involved and to restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially in high-traffic areas. Authorities urge drivers to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings while on the road to prevent similar incidents in the future.
