A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a white Toyota Prius and a tow truck, occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 605 (I-605) near South Street in Cerritos, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 3:58 AM, blocking the fast lane and the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane, which caused significant traffic disruptions during the early morning commute.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) units quickly responded to the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. The Prius was towed from the location, but debris and scattered cones remained on the roadway, leading to lane restrictions in both the HOV and lane one. As a result, drivers experienced delays and congestion in the area, particularly as the CHP worked to clear the scene and ensure safety for all motorists.
By 4:29 AM, the CHP requested assistance to remove the debris and cones, which were affecting traffic flow on the northbound side of I-605 just north of Del Amo Boulevard. The ongoing cleanup efforts aimed to restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling through this area and to expect potential delays as the situation is resolved.
