A significant traffic collision occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) near Getty Center Drive in Los Angeles, CA, resulting in major traffic disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved four vehicles: a black Lincoln Aviator, a white Nissan Sentra, a black BMW that required towing due to front-end damage, and a silver vehicle.
The collision blocked the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and caused all lanes to be temporarily stopped, leading to considerable delays and congestion in the area. Emergency services responded quickly, with multiple units dispatched to manage the scene and facilitate the clearing of vehicles.
A tow truck was called to remove the damaged black BMW, while the other vehicles were moved to the roadside to help restore traffic flow. Roadway closures were implemented until conditions improved, causing backups for motorists traveling through this busy corridor.
Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays and to exercise caution while navigating the area. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the situation to ensure a safe and efficient resolution to the traffic incident.
