A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 South near State Route 118 in San Fernando, CA, significantly impacting the evening commute. The incident involved four vehicles: a solo vehicle that struck a guardrail in the slow lane, a mar sedan that collided with a wall, a red van that also impacted a wall, and a Toyota mini van that required towing services.
