A significant traffic collision occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 105 (I-105) near Wilmington Avenue in Los Angeles, CA, leading to major traffic disruptions during the afternoon commute. The incident involved seven vehicles, including a white Ford pickup, a red sedan, a white Honda, and a gray Prius. Due to the collision, lanes one through four were blocked, resulting in considerable congestion and delays for drivers in the area.
Emergency response teams, including multiple units from the California Highway Patrol, were dispatched to manage the scene and coordinate traffic control. Towing services were also called to assist with the removal of several vehicles involved in the incident. While some vehicles were cleared from the scene, others remained as the situation was being managed.
A signal alert was issued to inform motorists of the lane closures and to advise them to seek alternate routes. The traffic incident created a backup that is expected to persist as response teams work to clear the roadway. Drivers are encouraged to stay updated on traffic conditions and plan their routes accordingly to avoid the affected area.
Motorists should exercise caution while navigating through the area, as delays are likely to continue until the scene is fully cleared.
