A traffic collision occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 405 near Marine Avenue in Redondo Beach, CA, involving two vehicles: a stalled white Mercedes sedan and a big rig. The incident began around 12:57 AM when the Mercedes became disabled in the third lane without hazard lights, creating a dangerous situation for other motorists.
By 1:00 AM, the Mercedes was blocking the second lane, prompting emergency services to respond. At approximately 1:12 AM, a collision was reported between the stalled sedan and the big rig. Fortunately, by 1:18 AM, authorities confirmed that there were no injuries reported from the incident.
Emergency responders worked quickly to push the stalled vehicle out of the lanes, and by 1:20 AM, all lanes were reopened to traffic. However, the big rig required heavy-duty towing due to its significant weight. A tow truck was requested, and by 1:34 AM, arrangements were made for the heavy-duty tow.
The incident caused temporary lane closures, impacting traffic flow in the area, but the prompt response from emergency services helped minimize further disruptions. Motorists are reminded to ensure their vehicles are in good working condition to avoid similar incidents in the future.
