A traffic collision on Interstate 405 South in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 1:40 AM, impacting multiple lanes of the busy highway. Initially, the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane was completely closed, leading to congestion for early morning commuters.

By approximately 2:00 AM, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) issued a signal alert, warning drivers of potential delays for at least one hour as lanes remained blocked. While the HOV lane was later reopened, lanes three and four remained temporarily closed, contributing to backups in the area.
