A traffic collision on Interstate 405 South in Hawthorne, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved four vehicles, including a small SUV and a white Tesla, and occurred around 8:14 AM. Initially, the southbound lanes were completely stopped, blocking both the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and lane one, which led to considerable traffic delays and congestion.

Emergency response teams arrived promptly at the scene to manage the situation. Tow services were coordinated to remove at least one vehicle that was not drivable, ensuring that the roadway could be cleared efficiently. By 8:49 AM, all lanes were reported to be reopened, allowing traffic movement to resume.
