A traffic collision occurred today on the northbound Interstate 5 near El Toro Road in Laguna Hills, CA, at approximately 8:15 PM. The incident involved two vehicles: a blue SUV and a white sedan. The white sedan swerved to avoid a large dog in the roadway, which led to the vehicle colliding with the center median and subsequently blocking the middle lanes of the highway.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene to assist those involved. While there are reports of unknown injuries, specific details regarding the extent of injuries remain unclear. The presence of the dog, described as a medium-sized breed, was a significant factor in the incident, prompting the driver to take evasive action.
Due to the collision, traffic was impacted, with the middle lanes of the northbound Interstate 5 obstructed for a period. A tow truck was called to remove the vehicles involved, and emergency personnel worked to clear the area as quickly as possible.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the area and be aware of potential delays. The situation is still developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Drivers are reminded to stay alert for animals on the road and to report any loose pets to local authorities.
