A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 405 North at Seal Beach Boulevard in Seal Beach, CA, leading to major traffic disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved seven vehicles, including a white sports vehicle, a white BMW SUV, a gray sedan, a silver Toyota Prius, a white SUV, and a white Mazda SUV.
As emergency services arrived at the scene, traffic was severely impacted, with both front lanes and portions of the mainline blocked. This blockage resulted in substantial congestion and delays for drivers in the area. Although some vehicles remained drivable, the obstruction forced traffic into the mainline, worsening the backup.
Emergency responders implemented traffic management measures to control the situation and facilitate the clearing of the roadway. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles, but no vehicles were confirmed to have been towed at the time of reporting.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts continue. This traffic incident underscores the importance of caution on busy highways, particularly during peak travel times. Stay informed and plan accordingly to navigate around the affected areas.
