A traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) at the interchange with Interstate 105 (I-105) in Lennox, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions during the evening commute. The incident involved two vehicles: a white four-door Jeep that lost a tire and became stalled in the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, and a black Toyota.
Emergency responders, including the California Highway Patrol, arrived promptly to manage the situation. The white Jeep was blocking the HOV lane, which created potential hazards and contributed to traffic congestion. To alleviate the backup, one vehicle was relocated to the right shoulder, allowing for the gradual restoration of traffic flow.
By approximately 7:43 PM, all lanes were reopened, enabling vehicles to resume their journeys without further delays. The swift action of emergency personnel helped minimize the impact on evening traffic, which is often characterized by heavy congestion in this area.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious while traveling through this busy interchange, as traffic incidents can occur unexpectedly. Staying informed about road conditions and potential delays is essential for a smooth commute.
