A traffic collision involving two vehicles—a motorcycle and a blue pickup truck—occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 5 (I-5) at the Osborne Street on-ramp in Los Angeles, CA. The incident significantly disrupted traffic during the morning commute, resulting in delays and backups in the area.
Emergency response teams were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and ensure safe traffic flow. As a precautionary measure, lane closures were implemented along the Osborne on-ramp from southbound I-5 to the transition corridor leading to southbound Highway 170. Traffic control measures were established to facilitate the resolution of the incident and minimize congestion.
By 5:40 AM, it was determined that a hard closure of several lanes would be necessary. Specifically, the #3 and #4 lanes of southbound I-5, along with the #1 and #2 lanes transitioning to southbound Highway 170, were closed to allow for safe management of the situation. Additionally, the Osborne on-ramp to southbound I-5 was also shut down to assist with traffic control.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as emergency crews work to clear the scene. The estimated time for lane closures is approximately 30 minutes, but drivers should remain alert for updates as the situation evolves.
