A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) near the Artesia Boulevard off-ramp in Torrance, CA. The incident took place around 2:52 AM and involved a white Volkswagen sedan and a black Ford Expedition.

The efficient response from emergency personnel helped minimize congestion and restore access to the busy highway.
