A traffic collision on the southbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) in Los Angeles, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions this morning. The incident occurred around 8:24 AM when a single black vehicle collided with the right-side wall, leading to lane closures that are impacting traffic flow.
Emergency units promptly responded to the scene, and a tow truck was dispatched to assist with traffic management and scene control. As a result of the collision, the fifth lane has been blocked, and the on-ramp from Wilshire Boulevard is currently shut down to facilitate the response and clear the roadway.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and congestion in the area as traffic is being diverted. The incident has created a backup, particularly during the busy morning commute, making travel through this section of I-405 more challenging.
Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes if possible to avoid the affected area. Authorities are working diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible. Updates will be provided as the situation develops.
