A traffic collision on Interstate 5 North (I-5 N) in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved four vehicles: a solo white sedan that partially blocked a lane, a white Honda that was not drivable after the collision, a white four-door sedan that left the scene, and a white work truck located on the right-hand side of the highway.
Emergency services responded quickly to manage the situation, resulting in lane closures and slow-moving traffic in the area. Motorists experienced delays and congestion, particularly in the northbound lanes near the junction with State Route 14.
As crews worked to clear the scene, a tow truck was requested for the disabled vehicles. By mid-morning, some lanes began to reopen, but residual delays continued as traffic gradually returned to normal.
Drivers are advised to remain cautious and expect potential backups in the area as cleanup efforts conclude. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing traffic flow to ensure safe passage for all motorists.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of staying alert while driving, especially during peak travel times.
