A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a tour bus and a red Toyota Prius, occurred today at the intersection of Interstate 710 North and Interstate 405 Connector in Long Beach, CA. The incident took place during the morning commute, leading to significant traffic disruptions.
At approximately 10:45 AM, the Prius was reported blocking the eastbound lanes of Del Amo Boulevard, while the tour bus became disabled shortly thereafter. Passengers from the bus attempted to push it out of the lanes to minimize the obstruction. Emergency response teams, including California Highway Patrol units and local traffic management departments, quickly arrived on the scene to direct traffic and facilitate the clearance of the vehicles.
As towing units were called to remove both the bus and the Prius, traffic congestion and delays were reported in the surrounding areas. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the backup caused by the ongoing operations.
The tour bus was eventually relocated to Oregon Avenue near Del Amo Boulevard, but the Prius remained in the lanes awaiting towing. Drivers are encouraged to exercise caution and patience as the traffic incident is resolved.
Updates will be provided as the California Highway Patrol continues to manage the situation and restore normal traffic conditions.
