A traffic collision involving Seal Beach Police occurred early this morning on the northbound lanes of Interstate 405 at Seal Beach Boulevard. The incident took place around 2:37 AM while officers were in pursuit of a vehicle. The collision resulted in a mangled guard rail blocking the left turn lane of the off-ramp, necessitating traffic control and additional assistance.
Emergency responders quickly arrived on the scene to assess the situation. Initial reports indicated a possible fire, but it was later confirmed that no fire was present. The damaged guard rail will require cutting, and the off-ramp is expected to remain closed until repairs can be completed. Traffic control measures were implemented, with signals set up to manage vehicle flow in the area for approximately one hour.
As of now, the assessment of potential injuries remains unknown. Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes to prevent delays. The Seal Beach Police Department is coordinating with traffic control to ensure safety and minimize disruption during this incident.
Drivers should remain cautious and stay updated on traffic conditions as the situation develops. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available regarding the incident and any resulting traffic impacts.
