A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 405, just south of Woodruff Avenue in Long Beach, CA. The incident involved four vehicles: a white Sprinter van, a black BMW X5, a gray Toyota Camry, and a blue Volvo. The collision took place in the high-occupancy vehicle lane around 5:49 PM, causing significant traffic disruptions.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene. While there were no reported injuries, the presence of a 1-year-old child in one of the vehicles raised concerns about potential unknown injuries. The white Sprinter van was blocking the carpool lane, which complicated traffic flow for other drivers.
Tow trucks were dispatched to remove the vehicles involved, and by 6:44 PM, the incident was resolved, with all vehicles cleared from the roadway. The collision caused delays for motorists traveling in the area, particularly in the high-occupancy vehicle lane.
Authorities remind drivers to remain vigilant and practice safe driving habits, especially when traveling with young passengers. This incident highlights the importance of being aware of one’s surroundings on busy highways.
