A traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) near the Interstate 605 (I-605) interchange in Long Beach, CA. The incident involved four vehicles, including a gray Toyota RAV4 and a 2023 white Ford Mach E4, which was designated for towing.
The traffic incident initially resulted in lane blockages and significant slowdowns, causing delays for drivers during the evening commute. Emergency response units were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. As crews worked to clear the area, multiple lanes were obstructed, leading to congestion in the vicinity.
Fortunately, by late evening, emergency responders were able to clear the scene, and all lanes, including those at Station 41, were reopened. This swift action helped to alleviate the traffic backup that had developed during the incident.
Motorists are advised to remain vigilant and exercise caution when traveling through areas impacted by traffic incidents. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor traffic conditions to ensure the safety and efficiency of roadways.
