A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) near the junction with Interstate 405 North (I-405 N) in Los Angeles, CA, causing significant disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved three vehicles, including a white Kia Soul, which was towed from the scene due to left axle damage. Another vehicle was moved to the right shoulder to help ease congestion.
The collision was reported shortly after 9:42 AM, leading to lane stoppages along southbound I-5 just south of I-405. As a result, motorists experienced delays and backups in the area. Multiple emergency response units were dispatched to manage traffic flow and secure the scene, ensuring safety for all drivers.
By 10:29 AM, the Kia Soul had been towed to a nearby location, but traffic congestion persisted as responders worked to clear the area. The situation remained dynamic as units continued to manage the flow of vehicles and restore normal traffic conditions.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays caused by this traffic incident. The California Highway Patrol is actively working to resolve the situation and minimize further impact on traffic flow.
