A traffic collision on Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions during the early morning hours today. The incident involved two vehicles—a grey BMW sedan and a black sedan—and occurred around 2:35 AM near the Terra Bella Street exit.
Following the collision, both the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and one additional lane were temporarily blocked, leading to traffic congestion and delays for morning commuters.

By approximately 3:35 AM, a tow truck was called to remove the vehicles, and all lanes were subsequently reopened to traffic, allowing for the resumption of normal flow. The efficient response from emergency services helped mitigate the impact on the morning commute, with traffic gradually returning to normal conditions.
