A significant traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 (I-5) just south of Gorman School Road in Lancaster, CA. The incident involved five vehicles, including a golden Ford Fusion and a blue Hyundai Sonata, and was reported around 7:19 AM during the busy morning commute.
As a result of the collision, lanes one and two were closed, causing considerable traffic delays and congestion in the area. Debris from the crash partially obstructed the roadway, complicating travel for motorists. Emergency response units arrived quickly to manage the scene and direct traffic, ensuring safety for all drivers.
Witnesses noted that the blue Hyundai was swerving prior to the collision, which may have contributed to the incident. Traffic was significantly impacted as vehicles were unable to pass through the affected lanes. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved and to clear debris from the roadway.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts continue. The California Highway Patrol is actively working to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible. Drivers should remain cautious and expect potential backups in the area until the situation is fully resolved.
