A multi-vehicle traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 605 near Florence Avenue in Downey, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a red sedan, an unidentified color SUV, and a white semi-truck. At approximately 10:08 PM, emergency services were notified that the red sedan and the SUV were stuck together, blocking the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane.
Responders arrived shortly after and found both the red sedan and the SUV obstructing traffic, which created a significant disruption. The white semi-truck was also involved but was not blocking any lanes. A tow truck was requested for the red sedan to facilitate the clearing of the roadway.
While emergency services responded promptly, the extent of any injuries remains unknown at this time. The collision resulted in lane closures, impacting traffic flow in the area. Motorists are advised to exercise caution and seek alternate routes while the situation is being managed.
