A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 605 North near Valley Boulevard in Los Angeles County, CA, significantly impacting the afternoon commute. The incident involved two vehicles: a white Nissan sedan that overturned and a white SUV that ended up on its roof along the roadside. Both vehicles were severely damaged and required towing, as they were not drivable.
To manage the situation, one lane of northbound Interstate 605 was closed for about one hour, leading to noticeable traffic delays and congestion in the area. Multiple law enforcement units were dispatched to secure the scene and maintain traffic flow, ensuring safety for all motorists.
The collision was reported shortly after noon, prompting a swift emergency response.
