A significant traffic collision occurred this morning on Interstate 5 South near Rosecrans Avenue in Santa Fe Springs, CA, leading to major traffic disruptions. The incident, involving two vehicles—a grey Honda Civic and a Subaru WRX—was reported at approximately 5:37 AM. The Subaru WRX sustained substantial front-end damage and was secured for towing shortly after the collision.
Due to the traffic incident, two lanes in the middle of the roadway were blocked, resulting in considerable delays and congestion for morning commuters. Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety, directing vehicles around the blocked lanes.
The blockage created a backup that affected traffic flow for several miles, significantly impacting the morning commute. A tow truck was dispatched to remove the Subaru WRX, with an estimated arrival time provided shortly after the incident.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts continue. The incident underscores the importance of remaining vigilant while driving, especially during peak traffic hours.
