A major traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 North in Castaic, CA, involving seven vehicles, including a flipped semi-truck. The incident has resulted in significant lane closures, specifically blocking lanes one and two, which has led to heavy congestion and delays for drivers in the area.
