Lynwood, CA (August 4, 2026) — A four-vehicle crash involving two pickup trucks and an SUV blocked multiple eastbound I-105 lanes near the Long Beach Boulevard on-ramp on Monday, August 3.
California Highway Patrol dispatch records show the collision was reported shortly after 5:10 a.m. A Toyota Tacoma and a dark-colored Ford pickup were among the vehicles identified at the scene.
The initial record indicated possible injuries, prompting a precautionary emergency medical response. Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel arrived and temporarily blocked all lanes while working at the scene.
Two tow trucks were requested, and the northbound Long Beach Boulevard on-ramp to eastbound I-105 was affected during the response.
Authorities continue investigating the crash. We hope everyone affected by the collision recovers fully.
Where the Collision Happened: Eastbound I-105 Near Long Beach Blvd
The Long Beach Boulevard on-ramp feeds traffic from the local street network onto eastbound I-105. Drivers approaching this area may be merging onto the freeway while through traffic continues across several lanes.
Crashes near entrance ramps can affect both the main roadway and vehicles waiting to enter. When several lanes become blocked, approaching traffic may have limited time to slow or move around the emergency scene.
What We Know
- The crash was reported shortly after 5:10 a.m. on Monday.
- Four vehicles were involved.
- Two pickup trucks and an SUV were identified in dispatch updates.
- A Toyota Tacoma and a dark-colored Ford pickup were among the vehicles involved.
- Multiple middle lanes were initially blocked.
- Fire personnel later stopped traffic in all lanes.
- Two tow trucks were requested.
Why Multiple-Lane Freeway Crashes Create Secondary Risks
A collision involving four vehicles can spread across several lanes as damaged vehicles continue moving after the first impact. That can leave drivers approaching the scene with little space to brake or change lanes safely.
The positions and damage patterns of the vehicles on eastbound I-105 may help investigators determine whether the collision resulted from a single initial contact or several separate impacts. The early dispatch record does not establish the sequence.
How This Crash Is Investigated
CHP investigators may document vehicle damage, debris, tire marks, and the lanes where each vehicle stopped. Those details can help identify the point of first contact and the order of any later impacts.
Investigators may also compare statements from the drivers and witnesses with available roadway or vehicle data. Because the initial report was compiled during an active emergency response, the completed collision report may contain additional findings.
What to Do After a Multi-Vehicle Collision
People involved in a California freeway collision should preserve photographs, towing records, repair estimates, medical documents, and insurance correspondence. When several vehicles are involved, keeping a separate record of each contact and damaged area can help clarify the sequence later.
For crashes investigated by the California Highway Patrol, reports are available through the CHP Crash Portal at crashes.chp.ca.gov or through a CHP 190 request submitted by mail or in person. The collision report form is CHP 555, while CHP 190 is the request form.
The online portal fee is $22. Mail and in-person requests cost $10 per 25 pages through CHP. A report becomes available after the investigating officer files it, and the portal indicates when it is ready.
