A traffic collision on Interstate 605 North in Norwalk, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles: a blue sedan and a black SUV. The collision occurred at the off-ramp to Imperial Highway, blocking the middle lanes and leading to delays for drivers in the area.
Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. Multiple units were dispatched to ensure safety and assist with the situation. Fortunately, both vehicles involved in the traffic incident were drivable, leading to the cancellation of tow requests shortly after they were initiated.
