A significant traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 605 (I-605) near Beverly Boulevard in Pico Rivera, CA. The incident involved four vehicles, including two dark-colored vehicles that overturned and blocked the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, a dark-colored pickup truck obstructing the fast lanes, and an unknown vehicle also blocking the HOV lane.
The collision led to substantial traffic delays, with all lanes stopped and significant congestion reported during the morning commute. Emergency response units arrived promptly to manage traffic flow and secure the area. Approximately 30 feet of guardrail damage was noted, necessitating repairs.
As emergency crews worked to clear the scene, traffic was rerouted, and the HOV lane was closed to alleviate some of the backup. By late morning, traffic began to ease as vehicles were gradually allowed to pass through the area.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect residual delays in the vicinity of the incident. The situation is being monitored, and updates will be provided as necessary.
