Now, traffic is being impacted by multiple police units, with traffic being diverted from the lower roadway of World Way North to the upper roadway of World Way North.
JUST IN: Traffic is being impacted at @flyLAXairport after a man was found with multiple firearms inside his truck on the lower level.
According to NBC Los Angeles, a man was found with a truck filled with multiple firearms inside, and was discovered at a checkpoint on the lower level of World Way North, and that “other suspicious things” were found inside of the truck. The LAPD bomb squad has responded to the scene, and all traffic has been diverted to the upper level for the airport.
Extensive delays can be expected in and out of LAX until officials have cleared the lower level of World Way North for traffic. The Century Blvd. and NB Sepulveda entrances to LAX have reportedly been closed.
Users have already begun to upload videos of the traffic as it extends far beyond even the normal standards for traffic-laden Los Angeles.
Update: Roads Cleared
As of 9:53 PT, the roads for LAX have been cleared for travel, after police say the man had WWII replica weaponry and was cleared as a threat.
