A traffic collision on Interstate 405 North in Westminster, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today around noon. The incident involved three vehicles: a silver Nissan Pathfinder, a white Mercedes sedan, and a combination of a black sedan and gray SUV. The collision occurred in lane #1, resulting in the closure of this lane and blocking part of the roadway.

Emergency units responded promptly to the scene to manage traffic flow and establish boundary control. During the response, it was reported that one of the vehicles may have been leaking fuel, which added to the complexity of the situation.
