Video footage obtained by KTLA appears to confirm those reports; traffic was seen at a standstill behind a line of cars blocking the area off and fireworks were launched into the sky as people stood in the freeway lanes socializing.
It was not immediately clear exactly how many people were involved in the incident or if any arrests were made.
