A significant traffic collision occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 105 (I-105) in Lynwood, CA, disrupting the afternoon commute. The incident, involving two vehicles—a black GMC SUV and a black Volkswagen—was reported around 1:21 PM. Both vehicles were blocking lanes one, two, and the middle lane, resulting in considerable traffic congestion and delays for motorists.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation. A tow truck was called to remove one of the vehicles, while the other was cleared shortly thereafter. The blockage of multiple lanes led to a noticeable backup, affecting drivers traveling through the area. Traffic management units were deployed to facilitate the flow of vehicles and ensure safety.
Motorists were advised to seek alternative routes, particularly using the Garfield on-ramp to access westbound I-105. By approximately 2:08 PM, the roadway was cleared, and traffic began to resume its normal flow. However, the earlier delays may have continued to impact afternoon traffic patterns.
This traffic incident highlights the importance of remaining vigilant while driving and being prepared for unexpected situations on the road. Staying informed about traffic updates can help drivers navigate effectively through busy areas.
