A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) near the State Route 2 on-ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place during the busy afternoon traffic hours, resulting in significant lane blockages, including the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane.
Emergency response teams were promptly dispatched to manage the scene and ensure the safety of motorists. Tow trucks were called to remove the vehicles involved in the collision, which included a silver Toyota Corolla, a black Toyota Camry, and a white motorcycle. Initially, all lanes were blocked, causing considerable traffic congestion and delays for drivers in the area.
As responders worked to clear the roadway, some lanes were reopened, helping to alleviate the backup. However, motorists should still expect residual delays as traffic begins to normalize. Authorities are advising drivers to exercise caution and consider alternative routes to avoid congestion.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially during peak traffic times. Updates on the traffic situation will be provided as they become available.
