A significant traffic collision occurred today at the junction of Southbound State Route 14 and Southbound Interstate 5 in Los Angeles County, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: two semis, one of which experienced a rear fire, and an unknown vehicle towing a trailer. The collision rendered both semis undrivable, causing major disruptions to traffic flow.
As emergency response teams arrived, they implemented traffic management measures, resulting in the closure of truck routes on Southbound State Route 14 and parts of Southbound Interstate 5. This led to significant delays and backups for motorists during the morning commute, with traffic lanes held up for approximately two hours.
Tow trucks were dispatched to the scene to assist with the removal of the damaged vehicles. The California Highway Patrol issued a Sig Alert to inform drivers of the ongoing traffic incident and the anticipated duration of the closures.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid congestion in the area. The situation is being monitored closely, and updates will be provided as the scene is cleared and normal traffic flow is restored.
