A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 91 West near South Central Avenue in Compton, CA, leading to major traffic disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved three vehicles, including a silver Honda and a silver sedan, which were blocking the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane. This blockage caused significant delays and congestion for drivers in the area.

Emergency responders quickly arrived to manage the situation and secure the scene. One or more of the vehicles involved were not drivable and required towing, further complicating traffic flow. The initial blockage in the HOV lane affected all lanes of traffic, resulting in a backup that frustrated many motorists.

By approximately 5:34 AM, emergency crews had cleared the vehicles from the roadway, allowing all lanes to reopen. However, lingering delays were still reported as traffic began to normalize. Authorities are advising drivers to remain cautious and expect potential residual congestion as the situation continues to resolve.

This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the need for timely emergency response to minimize disruptions on California highways. Motorists are encouraged to stay informed about traffic updates and plan their routes accordingly to avoid delays.
