A traffic collision involving two vehicles—a white Tesla and a blue Ford Mustang—occurred today on Interstate 405 North at Main Street in Carson, CA. The incident took place during the morning commute, resulting in significant traffic congestion and lane closures. Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, directing traffic and advising drivers to use alternate routes to avoid delays.

The collision blocked both the second and first lanes of the highway, leading to heavy backups for motorists traveling northbound. Tow trucks were dispatched to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved. One tow truck was requested for the blue Ford Mustang, while another was needed for the Tesla, which remained at the scene for processing.

As responders worked to clear the traffic incident, they emphasized the importance of using side roads to navigate around the congestion. The situation was further complicated by the need for additional tow trucks, as one of the initial vehicles experienced a breakdown en route to the scene.

Motorists are advised to expect delays in the area and to plan their routes accordingly. The California Highway Patrol is managing the scene to ensure safety and facilitate the clearing of the traffic incident.
