A traffic collision occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) near La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA, impacting the morning commute for many drivers. The incident, which involved three vehicles—a white BMW SUV, a black Dodge Ram, and a black pickup truck—was reported at approximately 6:08 AM.
As a result of the collision, multiple lanes, particularly the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, were blocked, leading to significant traffic delays and congestion in the area. Emergency service units were dispatched quickly to manage the situation and control traffic flow. Traffic break measures were implemented to reduce backup and ensure safety for all motorists.
Witnesses indicated that the white BMW SUV was traveling at high speeds prior to the crash, which contributed to the incident. The blockage of the HOV lane created challenges for morning commuters, prompting the California Highway Patrol to take action.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as crews work to clear the scene. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing traffic and ensuring a safe resolution to the traffic incident. Drivers should remain cautious and expect ongoing congestion in the area until the situation is fully resolved.
