The accident compounded the already existing congestion on the 405 caused y the closure of the Santa Monica On Ramp and the Wilshire Boulevard Onramp and Offramp due to Caltrans work. The secondary surface streets of West Los Angles bore the brunt of morning rush hour traffic spillage from the congested freeway.
