A traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 605 (I-605) at the Rosecrans Avenue on-ramp in Norwalk, CA. The incident, which involved three vehicles—a silver Prius, a silver Toyota, and a silver Chevrolet Suburban—was reported around 4:41 PM. As a result of the collision, the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and at least one additional lane were coned off, leading to significant traffic delays and congestion in the area.
Emergency services quickly arrived to manage traffic and secure the scene, ensuring the safety of all motorists. Towing services were requested to recover at least one of the vehicles involved in the crash. The lane closures caused notable backups, particularly during the busy afternoon traffic period.
By 4:54 PM, emergency personnel had coned off the affected lanes, and additional tow trucks were dispatched to assist with vehicle recovery. The incident was cleared shortly thereafter, allowing traffic to gradually resume its normal flow. Motorists are advised to remain cautious and aware of potential residual delays as the roadways return to regular conditions.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the effectiveness of emergency response in minimizing disruptions on California's busy highways.
