Los Angeles, CA (October 7, 2024) – A traffic collision occurred early Monday morning at approximately 1:03 a.m. on the southbound I405 freeway near the Wilmington Avenue offramp. The incident involved multiple vehicles and resulted in significant traffic disruptions in the area.
Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene shortly after the collision was reported. Initial accounts indicated that the accident involved four to five vehicles, with at least one vehicle overturned. The Los Angeles County Fire Department was on-site to assess the situation and provide medical assistance as needed.
As responders arrived, they found debris scattered across the lanes, causing blockages and hindering traffic flow. One vehicle was reported to be non-drivable, and another was blocking the third lane, complicating the response efforts. The overturned vehicle required towing, and multiple tow services were contacted to assist in clearing the scene.
By 1:24 a.m., a tow service was confirmed to be en route to handle the recovery of the vehicles involved. The situation was further complicated by the need for additional towing services, as the number of vehicles involved exceeded initial estimates.
At this time, the investigation into the cause of the collision is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the specifics surrounding the incident.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this accident, and we hope for a swift resolution and recovery for those involved.
