A traffic collision occurred today on the southbound Interstate 605 (I-605) near the junction with the 60 Freeway in Whittier, CA. The incident involved a single vehicle, a green minivan, which was blocking the #1 lane. The collision was reported around 3:14 PM, prompting a response from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and other emergency units to manage the scene and control traffic.
As the afternoon traffic began to increase, emergency services implemented temporary lane holds to ensure safety while they worked to clear the scene. The green minivan was towed from the location by approximately 3:51 PM, allowing all lanes to reopen shortly thereafter.
During the time of the incident, drivers experienced some delays and minor congestion in the area due to the lane closures. However, the quick response from emergency personnel helped to minimize the impact on traffic flow, allowing for a return to normal conditions.
Motorists are advised to remain vigilant and exercise caution when traveling through areas affected by traffic incidents to ensure their safety and that of others on the road.
