A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 North (I-5 N) at the junction with Interstate 210 West (I-210 W) in Los Angeles, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a white BMW, a Ford Flex, and a silver Kia, all of which were confirmed at the scene and are currently being towed due to being undriveable.
The traffic incident has caused considerable disruption during the morning commute, leading to lane closures on both the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes and the main lanes of the highway. Emergency services responded promptly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. As a result, motorists are experiencing delays and congestion in the area.
Traffic management officials issued a signal alert, advising drivers to expect significant backup for at least 30 minutes. As of now, the first lane has been reopened, but the HOV lane remains blocked, prolonging the traffic impact. Towing services have been called to remove the vehicles involved, with multiple tow trucks on site to expedite the process.
Motorists traveling through this area should consider alternative routes to avoid further delays. The situation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as the scene is cleared and normal traffic flow resumes.
