A significant traffic incident occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) near West Century Boulevard in Inglewood, CA. The collision involved three vehicles: a white Mazda Miata, a Ford pickup, and a black Audi Q7. The crash resulted in considerable traffic congestion, with multiple lanes blocked by the vehicles and debris, leading to delays for motorists during the evening commute.
Emergency response teams swiftly arrived at the scene to manage traffic control and coordinate tow services. The left-hand HOV lanes and several other lanes were obstructed, causing backups that extended for miles. As crews worked to clear the roadway, drivers were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the area.
By midnight, emergency responders reported that the HOV lanes had reopened, although some lanes remained closed due to ongoing cleanup efforts. The incident created significant delays, impacting traffic flow in the surrounding areas, particularly near the Manchester on-ramp to northbound I-405.
Authorities are working diligently to restore normal traffic patterns as quickly as possible. Motorists are encouraged to remain cautious and stay updated on traffic conditions as the situation continues to develop.
