A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the transition road between Interstate 5 North and Interstate 605 North in Santa Fe Springs, CA. The incident happened in heavy fog conditions, resulting in both a white truck and a BMW sedan blocking the roadway.
Emergency services responded to the scene shortly after 4:11 AM. The driver of the Audi, which was also involved in the collision, sustained unknown injuries and required medical attention. Fortunately, there were no reports of serious injuries. The heavy fog in the area contributed to poor visibility, complicating the situation for drivers approaching the scene.
As a result of the collision, traffic was significantly impacted, with both vehicles facing sideways and obstructing the transition road. Debris from the incident was scattered across multiple lanes, further worsening the traffic situation. A tow truck was called to assist in clearing the roadway, and both vehicles were ultimately towed from the scene.
Additionally, reports indicated that another vehicle may have fled the scene, adding uncertainty to the incident. Authorities are working to gather more information regarding this potential involvement.
Drivers are advised to exercise caution in foggy conditions and remain alert for changing traffic situations. The roadway has since been cleared, and traffic flow has returned to normal.
