A traffic incident occurred today on the eastbound side of State Route 91, near Avalon Boulevard in Carson, CA, causing significant disruptions to traffic flow. The incident involved one vehicle, a blue Ford, which was determined to be undriveable and blocking the high-occupancy vehicle lane.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, implementing traffic control measures to manage the situation effectively. All lanes were temporarily halted as crews worked to clear the area, and the high-occupancy vehicle lane was coned off for safety.
As the incident unfolded, traffic was heavily impacted, with vehicles unable to proceed past the blockage. Officers were on-site to oversee the scene and direct traffic, ensuring that motorists could navigate safely around the affected area.
A tow truck was requested to remove the disabled vehicle, and by mid-morning, the vehicle was successfully moved from the eastbound lanes of State Route 91, just west of Central Avenue. The roadway was cleared shortly thereafter, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as residual delays may persist. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation to ensure safe passage for all drivers.
