A traffic collision occurred today on the Interstate 105 East at the Prairie Avenue off-ramp in Inglewood, CA, involving three vehicles: a gray Ford Explorer, a gray Acura TLX, and a white Nissan. The incident was reported around 4:14 PM, leading to significant lane blockages, particularly in lanes two and three. The ongoing construction in the area further exacerbated traffic congestion and delays for drivers.
Emergency response teams arrived quickly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. One of the vehicles, the gray Ford Explorer, was rendered undrivable due to front-end damage and required a tow truck for removal. The tow truck was requested shortly after the collision, and by 4:50 PM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume more smoothly.
Motorists traveling through this area during the afternoon traffic period faced considerable backup due to the collision and construction activities. Authorities are urging drivers to remain cautious and expect potential delays as the situation stabilizes.
This traffic incident highlights the importance of staying alert while driving, especially in areas with ongoing construction. Drivers are advised to seek alternative routes if possible to avoid congestion.
