A traffic collision occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) near Nordhoff Street in Los Angeles, CA, involving four vehicles, including a red and white semi-truck. The incident was reported shortly after 9:56 PM and resulted in the blockage of all lanes except for the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, causing significant traffic delays and congestion in the area.
The vehicles involved included a white Honda, a burgundy Honda, a white Toyota pickup, and a blue Toyota sedan, with debris scattered across the roadway. Emergency response teams arrived quickly to manage the scene, deploying multiple units to assist with traffic control and cleanup efforts.
As the situation unfolded, the blockage of three right lanes created a substantial backup for motorists, with many drivers unable to navigate around the incident. Towing services were requested to help clear the vehicles involved and restore normal traffic flow.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and consider alternate routes while crews work to resolve the situation. This traffic incident underscores the importance of caution and patience during evening commutes, especially in busy areas like Los Angeles.
