A major traffic incident occurred today on the northbound lanes of the Interstate 710 freeway in Carson, CA, when a semi-truck overturned, blocking multiple lanes. The accident was reported at approximately 1:52 PM, prompting an immediate response from emergency services.
The overturned semi-truck obstructed the fourth lane and caused traffic to come to a standstill. By 2:07 PM, all northbound lanes were halted, leading authorities to issue a signal alert due to the unknown duration of the closure. Traffic was diverted off the freeway at the Del Amo Boulevard on-ramp, which was also closed to manage the flow of vehicles effectively.
Multiple tow trucks were dispatched to the scene to assist in clearing the overturned vehicle. It was estimated that the northbound lanes would remain closed for approximately three hours. As of 3:08 PM, the Del Amo on-ramps had been closed by traffic control authorities to prevent further complications.
Drivers in the area are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays. The status of injuries remains unknown. The California Highway Patrol is managing the situation, and updates will be provided as the scene is cleared and normal traffic flow is restored.
