A traffic collision on Interstate 605 South in Cerritos, CA, caused significant disruptions during the evening commute today. The incident, which involved two vehicles—a gray Nissan Altima and a black Chevrolet Tahoe—occurred around 5:19 PM. The gray Nissan Altima was rendered undriveable and required towing from the scene.
Debris from the collision blocked the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and the number one lane, leading to temporary lane closures and heavy traffic management in the area. As a result, motorists experienced delays and congestion while navigating through this busy corridor.
Multiple emergency units responded to the scene to manage traffic and clear the debris. Towing services were dispatched to remove the vehicles and restore normal traffic flow. By approximately 6:51 PM, the scene was cleared, and the lanes were reopened. However, drivers were advised to remain cautious as residual traffic congestion may linger in the area.
This incident highlights the importance of staying alert while driving, especially during peak travel times. Motorists are encouraged to follow traffic updates and remain patient when encountering unexpected disruptions on the road.
