A significant traffic collision occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 105 (I-105) at Garfield Avenue in Paramount, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a white Honda hatchback, a Jeep 4x4, and a silver sedan. The collision resulted in the blockage of multiple lanes, including the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, causing considerable traffic delays and congestion in the area.
Emergency response units were quickly dispatched to manage the scene and control traffic flow. Tow trucks were called to remove the vehicles involved in the traffic incident, which were either secured for towing or already removed from the roadway. As the situation developed, all lanes were temporarily closed, leading to significant backups for motorists during the evening commute.
By approximately 11:29 PM, emergency crews successfully cleared the scene and reopened all lanes at the Garfield/Mendy intersection. However, drivers in the area continued to experience delays due to the earlier lane closures and ongoing traffic management efforts.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect residual congestion as traffic gradually returns to normal. This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to stay alert and practice safe driving, particularly in areas prone to traffic incidents.
