A traffic collision on Interstate 5 South in Commerce, CA, caused significant disruptions to traffic flow today. The incident occurred early this morning around 2:13 AM when a white Tesla T3 collided with a wall, partially blocking lane #1. Two additional vehicles were also present at the scene, including an unknown-color vehicle facing westbound on the southbound side of the highway.
As a result of the collision, traffic was impacted, leading to lane blockages on Interstate 5. California Highway Patrol (CHP) units quickly arrived to manage traffic and ensure safety at the scene. Emergency responders worked diligently to clear the area and push vehicles over to the shoulder, helping to alleviate congestion.
