A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 405 South near the El Segundo Boulevard off-ramp in Hawthorne, CA, causing significant disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved two vehicles: a motorcycle and an unknown vehicle.
Emergency response teams, including California Highway Patrol traffic management units, quickly arrived at the scene to control traffic flow and minimize congestion. The motorcycle was reported down in the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, leading to lane blockages that affected the morning traffic significantly.

Motorists experienced delays and backups as traffic was diverted around the incident site. The California Highway Patrol worked diligently to restore normal traffic flow and ensure safety for all drivers in the area.
Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays caused by this traffic incident. The situation is being monitored closely, and updates will be provided as they become available.
