A traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 605 (I-605) near Beverly Boulevard in Whittier, CA, causing significant traffic disruptions during the early morning hours. The incident involved two vehicles: a gray Toyota Camry and a silver Toyota, with one vehicle pushed to the right shoulder of the highway.

The collision blocked the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, leading to temporary lane closures and creating a backup for drivers. Emergency response units were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. A towing request was later canceled after the vehicles were repositioned, allowing for the gradual restoration of traffic flow.

By mid-morning, all lanes were reopened, alleviating congestion and enabling drivers to continue their journeys. Motorists are advised to remain cautious while navigating the area, as residual delays may still be experienced.

This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the need for prompt emergency response to minimize disruptions on California's busy roadways. Stay informed about traffic conditions and plan your routes accordingly to avoid potential delays.
