A traffic collision on Interstate 405 South in Los Angeles, CA, has led to significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, which occurred around 3:24 PM, involved two vehicles: a gray Rivian SUV and a caramel-colored Bronco. The Rivian sustained major damage to its left side and is currently stalled in the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane with a flat tire.
Emergency units were dispatched to the scene to manage the situation, resulting in the closure of the HOV lane. This has caused delays and backups for motorists traveling in the area. The Bronco was also involved in the collision and had deployed airbags, indicating a serious impact.
A tow truck has been requested to assist with the removal of the Rivian, which is blocking the HOV lane. As emergency responders work to clear the vehicles, traffic flow is expected to remain impacted for some time.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid congestion, especially during the busy afternoon commute. The California Highway Patrol is on-site to ensure safety and facilitate the removal of the vehicles involved in this traffic incident. Drivers should anticipate ongoing delays along Interstate 405 South near Victory Boulevard as the situation is resolved.
