A traffic collision on Interstate 605 South in Whittier, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved three vehicles: a white Toyota Camry, a gray Toyota Sienna, and a third vehicle described as either a gray minivan or a four-door sedan.

Initially, the collision blocked the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and lane one, leading to potential delays for drivers in the area. Emergency response units were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and facilitate traffic flow. By 8:26 AM, all vehicles involved had been moved to the right-hand side of the highway, allowing all lanes to reopen and traffic to resume normal conditions.

The quick response from emergency services helped minimize the impact of the traffic incident, with no lane blockages remaining by late morning. Motorists are advised to stay alert and drive cautiously, as residual effects from the earlier collision may still be experienced.

This traffic collision serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and prioritize safety, especially during peak travel times.
