A traffic collision on Interstate 5 (I-5) in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant disruptions to traffic flow today. The incident occurred around 1:43 AM near the 4th Street exit, involving one dark-colored four-door sedan that ended up on the left shoulder after colliding with a wall.
Emergency units quickly arrived at the scene to secure the area and manage traffic. To ensure safety during the response, multiple lanes were closed on northbound I-5 just south of 4th Street. This led to potential delays for early morning commuters, with traffic moving slowly in the vicinity.
A tow truck was called to remove the vehicle from the roadway, and by approximately 2:22 AM, the scene was cleared, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. During the incident, authorities held all lanes on northbound I-5 near Whittier to facilitate the emergency response.
Motorists traveling in the area were advised to expect congestion and plan for possible delays. The swift action of emergency responders helped minimize the impact on traffic, but drivers were encouraged to remain cautious as they navigated through the affected area.
