A traffic collision on Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) at Paramount Boulevard in Downey, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 11:28 PM and involved two vehicles, which blocked at least two lanes of the highway.

Emergency response teams quickly arrived to manage the situation, implementing traffic control measures to direct vehicles around the blockage. A tow truck was dispatched to the scene to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the traffic incident. As a result, motorists experienced delays and congestion in the area, particularly affecting evening commuters.

By 11:40 PM, both vehicles had been cleared from the roadway, allowing traffic to gradually resume its normal flow. However, the earlier blockage had created backups that may have impacted travel times for drivers in the vicinity.

Motorists are encouraged to remain vigilant and stay informed about traffic conditions when traveling through this busy corridor. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation to ensure safe passage for all vehicles.
