A traffic collision involving four vehicles occurred today on the main portion of State Route 118 (SR-118) near Interstate 5 South in San Fernando, CA. The incident took place around 6:54 AM during the morning commute and involved a grey sprinter van, an FSP truck, a Ford transit van, and a tow truck.

Emergency services quickly responded to the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. As a result of the collision, several lanes on SR-118 were closed, leading to significant traffic delays and congestion for motorists.

Throughout the response, emergency personnel ensured that traffic was redirected safely around the area to minimize disruptions.
