A witness who captured the video said he was on his way to work when the shutdown happened on the northbound side of the freeway, just before the Rosecrans Avenue exit.
Several people were seen running and jumping during the illegal impromptu fireworks show.
The footage also shows at least one car performing a donut, with a handful of people followed closely behind the vehicle.
The California Highway Patrol said it did not have any details on the incident.
