A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today at the intersection of Interstate 605 North and Beverly Boulevard Off-Ramp in Whittier, CA. The incident took place around 1:24 PM and involved a black Volkswagen TiJuan, a white van, and one additional vehicle of unknown make and model.
The traffic incident initially blocked the off-ramp lanes, leading to significant delays for drivers during the busy afternoon commute. Emergency services responded quickly, dispatching several units to the scene to manage traffic flow and secure the area.
Witnesses reported that the white van reversed into the black Volkswagen while stopped on the off-ramp, resulting in the collision. The blockage of the lanes contributed to congestion in the area, affecting motorists trying to navigate through the intersection.
Traffic management teams worked diligently to clear the roadway, and by approximately 1:48 PM, the lanes were reported clear. However, the incident caused a backup that impacted drivers in the vicinity.
Motorists traveling through this area should remain cautious and expect possible residual delays as traffic resumes normal flow.
