A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on Interstate 605 South near the junction with Interstate 5 South in Santa Fe Springs, CA. The incident took place around 7:54 PM during the evening rush hour, impacting traffic flow significantly.
The vehicles involved included a white Ford Fusion, a dark-colored vehicle, and a third unspecified vehicle. The collision resulted in the blockage of the third lane, leading to slow-moving conditions and congestion for drivers in the area. California Highway Patrol (CHP) units were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and direct traffic.
One of the vehicles was not movable, necessitating the call for a tow truck to assist in clearing the roadway. By approximately 8:35 PM, CHP units successfully moved the vehicles off the freeway, which helped alleviate some of the traffic delays. However, motorists were still advised to expect lingering congestion as traffic began to normalize.
This incident serves as a reminder of the potential for unexpected traffic disruptions, especially during peak travel times. Drivers are encouraged to remain vigilant and plan their routes accordingly to avoid delays.
