One More For the Road: The 405 in 4:05, A Carmageddon Timelapse

We need to hear from you.
Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. The local news you read here every day is crafted for you, but right now, we need your help to keep it going. In these uncertain times, your support is even more important. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership. Thank you.

The cars come in...and for several hours last weekend they were kept out. For your video lunch today, here's a timelapse look at the 405 Freeway shut down known as Carmageddon...or Carma-Heaven through the footage of a group of photographers, sped up to show the whole ordeal, in--what else?--4:05 minutes.
