A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the eastbound El Segundo onramp to northbound Interstate 405 (I-405) in Hawthorne, CA. The incident took place around 11:36 PM, when a dark gray sedan lost control and collided with a guardrail. This resulted in at least one vehicle requiring towing from the scene.
