A traffic collision on the Interstate 605 North at the Beverly Boulevard on-ramp in Whittier, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident involved two vehicles: a dark-colored mini cooper and a black Kia Optima. The collision occurred during the early morning hours, impacting the flow of traffic during the busy morning commute.
The mini cooper was left immobilized on the roadway, prompting emergency services to request a tow truck for clearance. The Kia Optima sustained noticeable front-end damage, and while its final disposition was not detailed, it is assumed to have been removed from the scene as part of traffic management efforts.
Emergency response units were dispatched to the location, with one unit on scene and another en route to assist in managing the situation. The initial blockage of a lane led to delays and congestion for motorists traveling through the area. Traffic management teams worked diligently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic flow.
Drivers in the vicinity should remain cautious and expect potential backups as cleanup efforts continue. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the scene to ensure safety and minimize disruption for all travelers.
