Hawthorne, April 2, 2025 -

A traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) at the Century Boulevard off-ramp in Hawthorne, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a white big rig with a trailer, a black SUV, and a black Ford Excursion. The collision resulted in significant damage to the big rig, while the Ford Excursion ended up blocking the roadway, causing major traffic disruptions.

Emergency services quickly responded to the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety. Due to the positioning of the vehicles, several lanes were closed, leading to delays and congestion for motorists in the area. The black Ford Excursion was reported to be facing sideways and appeared to have sustained extensive damage from the collision.

A tow truck was requested to assist with the recovery of the vehicles, and it was estimated that it would take approximately 20 to 25 minutes for the tow truck to arrive. As emergency responders worked to clear the scene, drivers experienced backups and delays, particularly during the early morning hours when traffic is typically heavier.

Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the area and expect ongoing traffic impacts as the situation is resolved. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available regarding the traffic incident.
