A traffic collision on Interstate 605 South in Norwalk, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles, including a Buick Enclave that was towed from the scene. One vehicle was reported on its side off the embankment, leading to lane closures and adjustments to traffic flow, including the temporary use of the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane.
Emergency response teams, including multiple units from the California Highway Patrol, were dispatched to manage the situation and clear the roadway. As traffic began to build up due to the incident, officers worked diligently to minimize delays and restore normal traffic patterns. The collision resulted in heavy congestion in the area, particularly affecting drivers heading toward the interchange with Interstate 105 West.
By mid-morning, the roadway was cleared, and the tow truck successfully removed the vehicles involved. However, the earlier traffic incident caused backups that extended for several miles, impacting the flow of vehicles in both directions. Authorities advised motorists to remain cautious and expect residual delays as traffic resumed.
Drivers are encouraged to stay informed about traffic conditions and seek alternative routes if necessary. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation to ensure safe passage for all commuters.
