A traffic collision occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 105 (I-105) at Hawthorne Boulevard in Hawthorne, CA, causing significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved five vehicles, including a black pickup truck and a green Toyota Tacoma, which were blocking the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane.
The collision took place around 6:08 AM, leading to immediate traffic delays and congestion for drivers in the area. Emergency response teams from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation and ensure safety for all motorists.
As the CHP worked to direct traffic and clear the roadway, the HOV lane remained obstructed, contributing to a backup on the highway. The presence of the vehicles involved in the collision created challenges for traffic flow, prompting officers to implement measures to alleviate congestion.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts continue. The CHP is actively managing the scene to restore normal traffic conditions as swiftly as possible. Drivers should remain vigilant and expect potential congestion in the area until the situation is fully resolved.
