A traffic collision on the transition segment of Interstate 110 South in Gardena, CA, caused significant disruptions today. The incident occurred around 12:42 AM and involved two vehicles: a white sedan positioned sideways and a white Kia with front axle damage. A black Prius was also present at the scene, serving as a hazard communication vehicle to alert other drivers.
Emergency units quickly responded to the scene, implementing traffic management and scene control measures. The white Kia was scheduled for towing, while the white sedan remained blocking the right lane of the transition road from westbound State Route 91 to southbound Interstate 110. As a result, lane closures were enforced, leading to potential delays for motorists during the early morning hours.
By 1:09 AM, emergency personnel had managed to keep one lane open while waiting for the tow truck to arrive for the damaged Kia. The roadway was cleared by approximately 1:26 AM, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. However, drivers in the area experienced backups and congestion due to the traffic incident.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and aware of their surroundings when traveling through this area, especially during peak traffic times. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation to ensure safe passage for all vehicles.
