On July 4, 2026, at approximately 2:34 AM, a black Toyota sedan collided with the right shoulder guardrail on Interstate 5 North at the Lower Crossover. The vehicle ended up facing sideways, blocking the truck lanes and the second lane. An ambulance was dispatched to the scene, and the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded. A traffic break was initiated by CHP officers just south of Parker. Castaic Towing was requested for vehicle recovery, and Caltrans was notified of approximately five damaged sand barrels on the right shoulder.
