A traffic collision on Interstate 405 South in Long Beach, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred early this morning around 12:32 AM when one vehicle went down an embankment. The California Highway Patrol responded quickly to manage the scene and direct traffic.
As emergency responders worked to clear the area, multiple lane closures were implemented, including restrictions on at least one High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane. This has led to delays and congestion for drivers during the early morning hours, impacting many commuters.
Towing services were dispatched to assist with the recovery of the involved vehicle, which is currently being handled at the scene. Reports indicated that a white Dodge Durango was in the area, but it appeared to be responding rather than involved in the collision itself.
Traffic management efforts remain in place as crews work to restore normal flow on the highway. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid potential backups and delays. The California Highway Patrol is coordinating with towing services to ensure the safe and efficient clearance of the traffic incident.
Drivers should remain cautious and stay updated on traffic conditions as the situation develops.
