A single-vehicle collision occurred early this morning on the transition from eastbound State Route 91 to northbound State Route 57 in Anaheim, CA. The incident took place at approximately 3:21 AM when a gray GMC SUV collided with the left shoulder wall, blocking both lanes of traffic.
Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene to manage the situation. Upon arrival, responders found the gray GMC SUV obstructing traffic flow, resulting in all vehicles on the transition being halted. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported in connection with this incident.
As emergency personnel worked to clear the roadway, a tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the vehicle. Traffic management units were also deployed to ensure the safety of both responders and other motorists in the area. By around 3:41 AM, additional units were requested to shut down the transition to facilitate the safe clearance of the scene.
The situation remained under control as responders coordinated their efforts, and the last unit cleared the scene at 4:20 AM. While the gray GMC SUV was blocking the lanes, the final status of the vehicle was not confirmed in the reports, leaving its drivable condition unclear.
Motorists traveling through the area during the incident experienced significant delays due to the blockage. However, thanks to the swift response of emergency services, the roadway was eventually cleared, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, particularly during transitions between highways. Drivers are encouraged to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
