FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.
Interstate 405 is closed in both directions in northern Orange County because of a power line that feel on the roadway, causing several collisions.
California Highway Patrol Officer Gabe Montoya said Thursday that the power line went down near the Magnolia Street exit in Fountain Valley and caused an accident in both the northbound and southbound lanes.
The freeway is expected to be closed until 4:15 p.m. and Montoya says traffic is piling up at the start of early rush hour.
Surface streets are also congested and some traffic signals are not working because the power line is down.
There were only minor injuries.
