On July 2, 2026, at approximately 6:56 PM, a traffic collision occurred on the southbound 405 freeway, just north of Cherry Avenue. The incident involved a silver Nissan Altima sedan that was blocking the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane. Initial reports varied between a solo vehicle collision and a two-vehicle collision involving a light-colored suspect vehicle. Airbags were deployed, and a family of four, including children, were seen standing in the HOV lane before leaving in another vehicle. A tow truck from City Tow Long Beach was requested to remove the non-driveable vehicle, and officers implemented a traffic break from Pacific Avenue to manage the scene.
