A traffic collision on Interstate 5 North in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, which occurred around 12:43 AM, involved two vehicles: a black Mercedes EQ350 and a black SUV. Following the collision, the Mercedes was determined to be not drivable, prompting immediate traffic management measures.
Emergency services were quickly deployed to the scene to secure the area and manage traffic flow. As a result of the collision, the Tuxford Street on-ramp was shut down to facilitate the response efforts and the safe removal of the vehicles involved. This closure is expected to lead to delays and congestion for motorists, particularly during the early morning hours.
A tow truck was requested to assist with the recovery of the black Mercedes, which was partially up a concrete embankment. The closure of the on-ramp is likely to impact the morning commute, as drivers may experience backups while navigating around the incident site.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes and remain cautious while traveling in the vicinity of the Tuxford Street on-ramp. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the situation to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible.
