A traffic collision on Interstate 405 North in Inglewood, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 9:34 PM and involved three vehicles, including a small white vehicle, possibly a Toyota or Honda, and a silver Toyota Prius. One vehicle was reportedly stalled in the #1 lane when it was struck by another vehicle, leading to a blockage in the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.
Emergency units were dispatched to the scene to manage the situation and control traffic flow. As a result of the collision, all lanes were initially stopped, causing delays and congestion for motorists in the area. By 10:05 PM, it was announced that the HOV lanes would be closed while the #5 lane remained open to help alleviate some of the traffic backup.
Tow requests have been initiated for the vehicles involved, but no further updates on their dispositions have been provided. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the area and expect delays as emergency crews work to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices, especially during peak travel times. Drivers should remain cautious and stay informed about traffic conditions as the situation develops.
