A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 South near Disneyland Drive in Anaheim, California, at approximately 6:14 PM. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in connection with this incident, which involved an unspecified number of vehicles.
Emergency services, including units from the California Highway Patrol, responded promptly to the scene. Shortly after the incident, the first lane was reported blocked, prompting immediate action to manage the situation. By 6:23 PM, emergency personnel had arrived to ensure the safety of all involved and to begin clearing the roadway.
Towing services were requested to assist in removing the vehicles, but complications arose when Hadley Towing was found to be out of their service area. This led to a transfer of the towing request to another service provider. The California Highway Patrol continued to coordinate efforts to minimize traffic disruptions.
As the situation developed, notifications indicated that Veterans Towing was en route to the scene. However, they encountered traffic delays, which further complicated the timeline for clearing the area. By 7:23 PM, it was confirmed that Hadley Towing would not be able to assist, prompting the California Highway Patrol to seek another towing service.
Despite the challenges with towing, the California Highway Patrol effectively managed the situation, ensuring that the roadway was cleared as quickly as possible. Drivers in the area were advised to exercise caution and be prepared for potential delays as the incident was resolved.
This incident underscores the importance of quick emergency response and the challenges that can arise during traffic incidents. The California Highway Patrol continues to remind motorists to stay alert and drive safely, especially in busy areas like Anaheim.
