A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a black bus and a white 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, occurred today on the eastbound side of State Route 91 at Tustin Avenue in Anaheim, CA. The incident took place around 6:35 PM and resulted in both vehicles blocking the high-occupancy vehicle lanes, causing a temporary disruption to traffic.
Fortunately, there were no reported injuries from the collision. Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and the Freeway Service Patrol, responded quickly to the scene. Their prompt action was crucial in managing the situation and ensuring the safety of all motorists.
The collision began when the black bus and the white Ford Mustang Mach-E collided in the left lane. Due to heavy traffic conditions, both vehicles were unable to move to the right shoulder, which necessitated assistance from emergency services.
At approximately 6:46 PM, the Freeway Service Patrol requested the California Highway Patrol's help to clear the vehicles from the high-occupancy vehicle lanes. A tow truck was dispatched to assist in moving the vehicles to the right-hand shoulder, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. By 6:58 PM, all lanes were reported to be open, and the vehicles were likely moved off the roadway.
This incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the need for quick response from emergency services during traffic collisions. While the situation was resolved without injuries, it highlights the potential for traffic disruptions caused by accidents on busy highways.
Motorists are encouraged to remain vigilant and drive cautiously, especially in high-traffic areas. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor road conditions and respond to incidents to ensure the safety of all drivers on the road.
