A traffic collision on southbound Interstate 405 (I-405) in Carson, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions this morning. The incident, which occurred around 7:32 AM, involved two vehicles: a silver Toyota Prius and a dark gray Mazda SUV. The collision blocked lane #1, leading to lane closures and traffic congestion during the busy morning commute.
Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. The Toyota Prius was reported to be not drivable, which further complicated the traffic flow. As a result, drivers experienced delays and backups in the area, particularly near the Avalon Boulevard off-ramp.
CHP officers worked diligently to clear the vehicles and restore normal traffic conditions. A tow truck was called to assist with the non-drivable Prius. As of now, lane #1 remains closed, and motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the congestion.
This traffic incident highlights the importance of remaining vigilant on the roads, especially during peak travel times. Drivers are encouraged to stay updated on traffic conditions and plan their routes accordingly to minimize delays.
