A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 405 North near the Rosecrans Avenue off-ramp in Hawthorne, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions during the early morning hours. The incident involved four vehicles, including a white Lexus and an unidentified grey four-door vehicle, which collided and caused additional vehicles to make contact.

Emergency response units quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety. The collision resulted in blocked lanes, specifically the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and lane number one, which created delays and congestion for morning commuters.

Tow trucks were dispatched to remove the vehicles involved in the traffic incident, further impacting traffic as lanes were temporarily closed for cleanup. By approximately 2:03 AM, emergency responders reported that the HOV lane and lanes one and two were reopened, allowing traffic to resume more smoothly. However, significant backups were observed as vehicles navigated around the scene prior to the lane openings.

Motorists traveling on Interstate 405 North should remain cautious and expect potential delays as traffic gradually returns to normal. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation to ensure safe passage for all drivers.
