A traffic collision on the northbound Interstate 605 (I-605) to northbound Interstate 5 (I-5) connector in Santa Fe Springs, CA, caused significant traffic delays today. The incident occurred around 3:30 PM and involved a solo vehicle, which required towing services.
Emergency units responded quickly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. To alleviate congestion, cones were placed to block the second lane of the connector, creating an abrupt transition for incoming traffic. This lane closure led to noticeable backups and delays for motorists navigating the area during the busy afternoon commute.
As the situation unfolded, additional emergency units were dispatched to assist with traffic management. The presence of multiple emergency vehicles aimed to ensure safety and facilitate the clearing of the scene. By 4:36 PM, reports indicated that the lane remained blocked, and some cones had already been hit, highlighting the challenges faced by drivers in the vicinity.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as towing services work to remove the vehicle involved in the traffic incident. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation, and updates will be provided as the scene is cleared.
