A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 405 South near Wilmington Avenue in Carson, CA. The incident took place during the early morning hours and resulted in significant traffic disruptions. Both a white Tesla and a white Toyota Camry were involved, with one vehicle blocking the first lane.

Emergency responders arrived promptly to manage the situation and control traffic flow. The collision caused several lanes to be obstructed, including the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and the first two lanes of the highway. As a result, motorists experienced delays and congestion during the busy morning commute.

A tow truck was dispatched to the scene to assist with the removal of the vehicle that was blocking the lane. Emergency crews worked diligently to clear the roadway, and lane reopening efforts began shortly after their arrival. By mid-morning, traffic management teams were able to reopen the affected lanes, helping to alleviate the backup.

Drivers in the area were advised to exercise caution and consider alternative routes while the situation was being resolved. This traffic incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, particularly during peak travel times.
