A traffic collision involving four vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 605 (I-605) near Beverly Boulevard in Whittier, CA. The incident was reported around 2:12 PM, with a grey Toyota Camry observed overturned and a black sedan also involved, along with two additional vehicles.

The collision resulted in significant traffic impact, leading to lane restrictions in the area. The slow lane was blocked, causing delays and congestion for motorists during the afternoon commute. Fortunately, the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane remained open, allowing some vehicles to bypass the traffic backup.

Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. A tow truck was called to assist with the overturned grey Toyota Camry, while the other vehicles were managed on-site. Multiple units were deployed to control the situation and facilitate the flow of traffic.

Motorists traveling through this section of I-605 should expect delays and plan for potential backups as the scene is cleared. Authorities are advising drivers to exercise caution and remain alert while navigating through the affected area.
