The incident involved five vehicles, including a Toyota Prius, a silver Lexus IS300, a grey Nissan sedan, a blacked-out unknown vehicle, and a bottom dump truck.
The collision was reported shortly after midnight, leading to lane 3 being blocked due to the positioning of the vehicles and debris on the roadway.
