A traffic collision involving at least two vehicles occurred today on the northbound Interstate 605 near the Whittier on-ramp in Whittier, California. The incident took place in the early morning hours and involved a blue Honda that overturned and ended up in an embankment. A separate black sedan collided with the concrete divider, resulting in debris being scattered across the southbound lanes.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after the collision was reported. A tow truck was requested to assist in recovering the overturned Honda, which required a specialized rotator tow truck due to its location in the ravine. To facilitate the recovery operation, the Whittier on-ramp was temporarily closed.
The status of any injuries related to the incident remains unknown at this time. Authorities are working diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. Motorists in the area should expect delays and are advised to seek alternate routes if possible.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, particularly in challenging road conditions. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to remain vigilant and cautious to help prevent similar accidents in the future.
