Apparent shooting involving 2 motorcyclists temporarily shuts down northbound 405 Fwy in Torrance

TORRANCE, Calif. (KABC) -- A man riding a motorcycle on the 405 Freeway in Torrance was apparently shot at, possibly by another motorcyclist, and taken to a hospital, authorities said.

The incident prompted all northbound lanes of the 405 Freeway in the area to be shut down on Thursday.

The closure was reported around 11:15 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol's traffic log. It affected all lanes between Western Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard. Most lanes have since reopened.

Authorities said they received a call just before 9:30 a.m. about a man who was possibly shot. The 44-year-old was riding a 2023 Ducati motorcycle and CHP officials believe he was shot by another motorcyclist.

That man was taken to an area hospital in unknown condition.

AIR7 HD was over the scene as CHP officers conducted a search for evidence on the closed portion of the freeway.
