Long Beach, CA (January 27, 2026) – Multiple emergency units were dispatched early Monday morning to a traffic collision involving injuries on the southbound I-710 just north of the 91 Freeway in Long Beach. The crash occurred around 6:50 a.m. in the fast lane, creating significant traffic delays and prompting a coordinated response from fire and rescue teams.
Crews from Engine 12, Engine 11, Rescue 12, and BLS 16 were sent to the scene to assist injured occupants and manage the flow of vehicles around the affected area. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) also responded and took over traffic control operations as the investigation began.
At least one individual sustained injuries in the crash, although details regarding the number of vehicles involved and the extent of those injuries have not been disclosed. The collision took place during morning commute hours, causing congestion on the southbound side of I-710 near the 91 interchange—a busy corridor that connects several high-traffic routes in the region.
Responders worked to evaluate all involved parties, clear the damaged vehicles from the roadway, and ensure the safety of passing motorists. As of this report, the fast lane remained partially blocked as CHP officers continued their investigation.
Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this freeway collision, and we hope for a swift and complete recovery for those who were injured.
