A major traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 North (I-5 N) at the junction with State Route 118 West (SR-118 W) in San Fernando, CA, involving 13 vehicles. The incident took place during the evening hours, leading to significant traffic disruptions across all lanes, including the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane.
Emergency response units quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation, resulting in lane closures and facilitating tow operations for the vehicles involved. Among the vehicles were a black Porsche and a white Range Rover that collided head-on in the HOV lane, along with several SUVs, vans, and a semi-truck that continued on after the collision.
As emergency crews worked to clear the scene, traffic was brought to a standstill, causing considerable delays and congestion for motorists in the area. The lane closures and ongoing emergency response efforts led to significant backups for drivers attempting to navigate through the affected area.
