A traffic collision involving four vehicles occurred today on Interstate 405 North near South Western Avenue in Gardena, CA, during the busy morning commute. The vehicles involved included a white Tesla, a black SUV, a blue Jeep, and one unknown vehicle. The collision resulted in at least two vehicles blocking the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, causing significant traffic delays and congestion for motorists in the area.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, with units assigned to manage traffic and ensure safety. Tow trucks were requested to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the incident. As responders worked to clear the scene, the blocked HOV lane contributed to a backup that affected traffic flow on the freeway.
By mid-morning, efforts were underway to remove the vehicles and restore normal traffic conditions. Motorists were advised to expect delays and consider alternative routes to avoid congestion. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential for traffic disruptions during peak travel times and the importance of safe driving practices.
As the situation developed, authorities remained on-site to manage traffic and facilitate the safe movement of vehicles through the area.
