Semi-truck accident leads to full closure on northbound 5 Freeway in San Fernando
A FedEx semi-truck crash has necessitated the closure of all lanes on the northbound 5 Freeway in San Fernando this Wednesday morning, prompting a Sig Alert for the affected area near the 118 Freeway and Brand Boulevard exit. Traffic congestion has extended back to Van Nuys Boulevard, leading to delays for commuters. The CBS LA Next Traffic Alert has been activated to notify drivers of the situation. To minimize disruption to their morning commute, CBS LA Anchor Kalyna Astrinos suggests using alternative routes such as the northbound 405 Freeway, westbound 210 Freeway, or Laurel Canyon Boulevard. The California Highway Patrol advises caution as the roads are slippery due to heavy rain. Crews are currently working to clear the freeway, which is expected to remain closed for a few hours. At the scene, a CBS LA photographer observed several packages strewn across the roadway from the truck.
