A deadly road accident occurred on the 405 Freeway, Sherman Oaks on Feb. 1, 2025. According to a report from California Highway Patrol (CHP), a wrong-way driver triggered the calamity, which has led to all southbound lanes of the freeway being temporarily closed.
The incident was first reported at around 4 a.m., when an unidentified driver was observed heading northbound on the southbound side of the freeway.
Shortly after, a subsequent collision involving three to four vehicles took place near Valley Vista Boulevard, leading to multiple lane closures on the freeway.
