Avoid The 405! 9-Car Collision Closes SB Lanes
WEST LOS ANGELES
As many as nine vehicles were involved in a collision on the southbound San Diego (405) Freeway in West Los Angeles Friday, prompting a partial closure of the vital artery, but no injuries were reported.
The crash was reported shortly before 6 a.m. south of Wilshire Boulevard, said California Highway Patrol Officer Patrick Kimball.
Officers closed the carpool lane and the No. 1 lane while crews worked to clear the scene, Kimball said. The cause of the accident was under investigation.
