A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on Interstate 105 East (I-105 E) near Crenshaw Boulevard in Hawthorne, CA. The incident was reported around 1:07 PM and involved a silver sedan, a green Volkswagen, and a gray sedan. Witnesses indicated that a shiny black vehicle may have contributed to the incident by swerving in and out of lanes at high speed.
As a result of the traffic incident, lane restrictions were put in place on I-105 E, leading to significant delays for drivers during the afternoon commute. Emergency response units were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. Towing services were also requested to remove the vehicles involved.
By 1:54 PM, one lane was reopened, allowing for some traffic movement, but congestion remained as crews continued to work on clearing the roadway. Motorists in the area were advised to expect residual delays and to consider alternative routes to avoid backups.
The situation was under control by mid-afternoon, but the impact of the traffic collision was felt across the surrounding roadways. Authorities emphasized the importance of caution for drivers navigating the affected area.
