A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 North at Crown Valley Parkway in Mission Viejo, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 6:55 PM and involved a red sports-type vehicle and a white Nissan Altima.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the red sports vehicle collided with a concrete divider, causing it to cross multiple lanes and come to a stop on the right shoulder. The white Nissan Altima was also present on the right shoulder but was not reported as damaged. Emergency units arrived on the scene at 7:09 PM to assess the situation and manage the aftermath of the collision.
Fortunately, no significant injuries were reported as a result of the incident, and the fire department was not required to respond. The red sports vehicle was deemed undriveable and required towing. By 7:19 PM, all vehicles involved in the incident had been cleared from the roadway, minimizing traffic disruption.
The towing process faced some complications, as the initial towing company refused to tow the vehicle to the owner's residence due to the nature of the incident. However, a new towing provider was assigned, and by 7:56 PM, the vehicle was confirmed to be at a new location for towing.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and cautious while on the road, particularly in high-traffic areas. The California Highway Patrol encourages all motorists to adhere to traffic regulations and report any hazardous conditions immediately.
