A traffic collision on Interstate 405 South in Torrance, CA, has caused significant disruptions to traffic flow today. The incident, which occurred during the evening rush hour, involved three vehicles: a Mercedes and a Toyota SUV, along with another unidentified vehicle. Two of these vehicles are undrivable and are currently being towed from the scene, while one remains operational.

The collision has resulted in lane closures, blocking the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and at least one left lane. This has led to delays and congestion for motorists traveling in the area. Emergency services are on-site, managing the situation and coordinating the towing operations for the undrivable vehicles.

Motorists are advised to expect backups and plan for potential delays as crews work to clear the roadway. The best access for tow trucks is reported to be via the Crenshaw Boulevard on-ramp, as responders continue to facilitate the removal of the vehicles involved.

As traffic incidents can significantly impact evening commutes, drivers are encouraged to seek alternative routes if possible and remain cautious while navigating through the affected area. Updates will be provided as the situation develops and the roadway is cleared.
