A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 605 near Valley Boulevard in Los Angeles County, CA, resulting in significant traffic disruptions. The incident, which involved three vehicles—a white Toyota Camry, a blue van, and an unspecified third vehicle—was reported at approximately 4:58 PM.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol, responded promptly to the scene to manage the situation and assist those involved. The blue van was confirmed to be blocking the third lane, creating a hazardous condition for other drivers. Both the Toyota Camry and the blue van sustained visible damage as a result of the collision.
As emergency responders worked to clear the scene, they coordinated towing services to remove the obstructive blue van, which was towed due to its position and damage. The status of the other vehicles involved remains unclear, but it is likely that they also required towing to ensure the safe reopening of the roadway.
Traffic was significantly impacted during the incident, with lane closures in effect as emergency crews worked diligently to manage the situation. The California Highway Patrol issued notifications regarding the blockage of the partial high-occupancy vehicle lane and the first two lanes, further complicating traffic flow in the area.
Drivers in the vicinity were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices and the potential consequences of collisions on busy roadways.
