A traffic collision on Interstate 5 (I-5) in Los Angeles County, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 2:37 PM and involved two vehicles: a Dodge Ram with a 40-foot flatbed trailer and a Class B bus. As a result of the collision, lanes three, four, and five of southbound I-5 at Calgrove Boulevard are currently blocked.
Emergency response teams, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP), arrived at the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. Towing services have been requested for both vehicles, as the Dodge Ram is unable to move, and the bus is also being managed for towing. The CHP issued a SigAlert for lanes four and five, indicating that these lanes will remain closed for approximately one hour, leading to potential delays and congestion for drivers in the area.
Motorists traveling southbound on I-5 are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid backups. The CHP is actively working to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible. Drivers should remain cautious and expect reduced speeds in the vicinity of the traffic incident.
