A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) near the interchange with Interstate 110 (I-110) in Gardena, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 1:23 AM, when a white pickup truck collided with a guard rail, pushing it into the traffic lanes. This resulted in a fallen freeway sign, further complicating the situation.
Due to the traffic incident, lane closures were implemented to address debris and damage to the guard rail, leading to significant traffic delays and congestion in the area. Multiple units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) were dispatched to manage the scene and facilitate traffic flow. Towing services were also called to assist with the involved vehicles, which were either drivable or in the process of being towed.
Motorists traveling through this section of I-405 should expect backups and plan for potential delays during the morning commute as crews work to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic conditions. The CHP is actively managing the situation to ensure safety and minimize disruption for drivers in Gardena and surrounding areas.
