A traffic collision occurred late last night on the northbound lanes of Interstate 405 near Cherry Avenue in Long Beach, CA, involving two vehicles. The incident was reported around 11:58 PM when a blue Mazda collided with a wall. Shortly thereafter, a black Honda sedan was found blocking the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, showing significant front-end damage and deployed airbags.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene to manage the situation. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of both vehicles involved in the collision. By 12:30 AM, the black Honda was successfully towed from the HOV lane, while arrangements were made for the blue Mazda.
The status of any injuries remains unknown at this time. The collision caused traffic disruptions as the HOV lane was obstructed, leading to delays for motorists in the area. Drivers were advised to seek alternate routes until the situation was resolved.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and practice safe driving, especially in high-traffic areas. Authorities continue to emphasize the importance of road safety to prevent similar accidents in the future.
