A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 North (I-5 N) near State Route 118 West in San Fernando, CA. The incident took place around 11:44 AM, involving a red Jeep and a white Toyota Tacoma, which were blocking the mid lanes of the highway. This blockage resulted in significant traffic impact, causing delays and congestion for drivers during the busy morning commute.
Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) arrived on the scene shortly after the collision to manage traffic and secure the area. Towing operations were initiated to remove the damaged vehicles from the roadway. The red Jeep sustained damage to its rear, while the white Toyota Tacoma experienced damage to its front end.
By 12:05 PM, the vehicles were reported to be off the roadway, allowing for the gradual reopening of the affected lanes. However, motorists were advised to expect residual delays as traffic began to clear.
The CHP continued to monitor the situation to ensure a smooth flow of traffic. Drivers were encouraged to exercise caution and consider alternate routes to avoid further delays.
