A traffic collision involving a box truck on the northbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) in Gardena, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 3:08 PM and rendered the truck non-drivable, necessitating a tow from the scene.
As a result of the collision, the second lane of the northbound I-405 approaching the northbound Interstate 110 (I-110) interchange was closed. This closure has led to noticeable delays and congestion for drivers in the area. Emergency response units were deployed to manage the scene and direct traffic flow, aiming to minimize the impact on motorists.
A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the box truck, which is expected to take some time. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the affected area and reduce travel delays during the afternoon commute.
The California Highway Patrol is actively working to restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible. Updates will be provided as the situation evolves, and drivers are encouraged to remain patient while crews work to clear the roadway.
