A traffic collision on Interstate 5 South in Los Angeles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions early this morning. The incident occurred around 3:31 AM when a solo vehicle, identified as a sedan, collided and blocked multiple lanes, including the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane.

Emergency services promptly responded to the scene, managing traffic and coordinating with tow services to clear the vehicle. Initially, all lanes were blocked, leading to delays and congestion for drivers during the early morning hours. However, by approximately 3:47 AM, the vehicle was successfully moved off the roadway, allowing traffic flow to resume.

The quick response from emergency personnel helped mitigate the situation, ensuring that traffic management was in place throughout the incident. As a result, the backup that had formed during the lane closures began to dissipate once the vehicle was cleared.
