A traffic collision involving two semi-trucks occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 710 (I-710) at West Anaheim Street in Long Beach, CA. The incident took place around 6:46 PM when one semi-truck overturned, blocking the offramp and causing significant traffic disruptions.
In response to the collision, traffic management units were deployed to implement lane closures on the northbound side of I-710, extending to the eastbound Anaheim offramp. These closures are expected to last approximately 1 to 2 hours, leading to delays and congestion for drivers during the evening rush hour.
A tow truck was called to assist with the overturned vehicle, and emergency responders managed the scene to ensure safety and facilitate traffic flow. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid potential backups in the area.
As the situation develops, drivers traveling through Long Beach should remain aware of significant traffic impacts and plan their commutes accordingly. The California Highway Patrol is actively working to restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
