A traffic collision on Interstate 605 South in Norwalk, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, involving two vehicles—a dark gray Honda Civic and another vehicle of unknown make—occurred around 8:16 PM near Firestone Boulevard. Both vehicles were towed from the scene, leading to lane blockages that resulted in temporary road closures and congestion for drivers in the area.
Emergency services quickly arrived to manage traffic and control the situation. The collision blocked multiple lanes, creating a backup that affected the evening commute for many motorists. As a result, traffic was heavily congested, and drivers were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays.
