A traffic collision involving four vehicles occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 405 (I-405) at Artesia Boulevard in Torrance, CA. The incident was reported early this morning and involved a black SUV, a red GMC Sierra, a gray Honda CR-V, and a Ford Cmax, which sustained rear-end damage.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, managing traffic flow and ensuring safety as debris, including glass, was scattered across the roadway. Vehicles were observed pulling to the shoulder, which contributed to traffic congestion in the area. Although a tow truck was initially requested, the request was later canceled, suggesting that at least one vehicle may have been deemed drivable.
As a result of the traffic incident, motorists experienced delays and backups during the morning commute. The presence of emergency responders and the ongoing cleanup efforts further impacted traffic conditions on this busy stretch of highway.
Drivers are advised to exercise caution and seek alternate routes if possible, as residual congestion may persist while cleanup operations continue. The California Highway Patrol is on site to monitor the situation and facilitate the safe movement of vehicles through the area.
