A traffic collision on Interstate 5 (I-5) in Burbank, CA, caused significant disruptions to traffic flow today during the early morning hours. The incident, involving two vehicles—a blue potential Toyota Prius and a Honda Civic—was reported shortly after midnight.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation. Traffic management units were deployed to control the area, resulting in the closure of several lanes, including the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane. These lane closures led to noticeable congestion and delays for drivers traveling northbound on I-5.
The Honda Civic was observed with its hazard lights activated, indicating the driver's presence outside the vehicle. Meanwhile, the blue potential Toyota Prius was positioned in a way that required careful handling by emergency personnel. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved, but details about their drivable condition were not specified.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as traffic continues to be impacted in the area. The situation is being monitored, and updates will be provided as the response progresses. Drivers should stay informed about lane reopenings and improvements in traffic flow as emergency crews work to clear the scene.
