« Phil Hill, Eagle Rock crash, LAX strike: Ramping up, August 29 | Main | Obama: No more gas from Middle East in 10 years »

Traffic alert for north San Fernando Valley: At 8:47 a.m. the CHP traffic incident website reported officers are responding to an accident on the southbound 5 freeway just past the junction with the 405. A car is possibly stuck under a truck. An ambulance and the fire department has also been called to the scene. As of 9 a.m., the Caltrans real-time traffic map wasn't showing any problems in the vicinity -- but it often takes a while for congestion to show up.

Update, 10:25 a.m.: It turned out not to be a traffic problem and the accident has disappeared from the CHP website.
