A single-vehicle incident occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 405 near West Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA. At approximately 4:25 AM, a blue Mazda CX-5 spun out and ended up facing the wrong direction, partially blocking the slow lane. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision.
The vehicle was reported to be facing westward in a southbound lane, causing traffic disruption. By 4:30 AM, all lanes were stopped as authorities responded to the scene. A tow truck was called to remove the Mazda, which had sustained damage and was identified as having only one functioning headlight.
Traffic was impacted during the response and towing process, but the situation was resolved relatively quickly. The Mazda was successfully towed from the scene, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
