A traffic collision on northbound Interstate 405 (I-405) near Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, which involved two vehicles—a motorcycle and a black sedan—occurred around 6:03 PM, blocking the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and at least one main lane of the highway.
Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. As a result of the collision, drivers are experiencing delays and congestion, particularly during the busy evening commute. The blockage of both the HOV lane and a main lane is contributing to a backup that may extend for several miles.
Traffic control measures are currently in place as crews work to clear the area and restore normal traffic flow. A tow truck has been requested to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the collision. Motorists are advised to consider alternate routes to avoid further delays.
