A traffic collision occurred today on the transition roadway between Interstate 105 East and Interstate 605 in Downey, CA, resulting in significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved one vehicle, a white Nissan Sentra, which became inoperable and was subsequently towed from the scene. Debris from the collision obstructed both lanes of the transition roadway, prompting emergency response teams to manage traffic and clear the area.
The collision was reported around 9:49 PM, and emergency personnel quickly arrived to assess the situation. Due to the blockage, traffic was diverted away from the scene, leading to delays and congestion for motorists in the vicinity. The transition roadway was closed as crews worked to remove debris and ensure safety for all drivers.
Traffic was rerouted to Firestone Boulevard to alleviate backup on the main routes. By approximately 10:27 PM, emergency responders reported that the area was clear, although damage to a section of guardrail was noted.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious while traveling in this area and to expect potential delays as traffic resumes normal flow. This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, particularly during evening hours when visibility may be reduced.
