A traffic collision on Interstate 605 North in Norwalk, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today during the morning commute. The incident occurred around 7:41 AM when a black Mercedes or dark gray sedan collided with a roadside barrier, resulting in front-end damage that rendered the vehicle undrivable.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and Freeway Service Patrol, quickly arrived on the scene to secure the area and manage traffic flow. Due to the collision, multiple lanes were closed, leading to delays and congestion for motorists traveling through the area.
The damaged vehicle was towed from the scene, which further contributed to traffic backup. Witnesses reported that the vehicle may have lost a tire prior to the collision, causing it to veer across multiple lanes before striking the barrier.
Drivers are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts continue. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the situation to restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible. Motorists should remain cautious and expect residual congestion in the area as traffic begins to clear.
