A traffic collision on Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the afternoon commute. The incident, which involved two vehicles—a black sedan and a grey vehicle missing a wheel—occurred around 3:03 PM. The grey vehicle was loaded onto a tow truck, while details regarding the black sedan remain limited.
As a result of the collision, several southbound lanes were closed, leading to delays and congestion for drivers in the area. Emergency units quickly responded to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. The lane closures impacted the flow of vehicles, creating a backup that extended for several miles.
Traffic conditions were further complicated as the grey vehicle partially blocked the lane, prompting authorities to take action to clear the roadway. By approximately 3:49 PM, the affected lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
