A significant traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) at Normandie Avenue in Gardena, CA, causing major disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved six vehicles, including multiple Toyota Priuses, a black SUV, and a grey sedan that became stalled in the third lane.
As a result of the traffic collision, at least three lanes were blocked, leading to substantial traffic congestion and delays for motorists. Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, with units assigned to manage traffic and secure the area. Efforts to clear the roadway were underway, but the backup continued to affect the flow of traffic in the vicinity.
Witnesses reported vehicles swerving to avoid the collision, which further complicated the situation. The grey Toyota Prius was involved in a collision with a semi-truck, blocking the middle lanes and contributing to the traffic issues. A tow truck was called to assist with clearing the vehicles involved, and emergency responders worked diligently to restore normal traffic flow.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts continue. This traffic incident underscores the importance of cautious driving, especially during peak travel times.
