A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on the northbound State Route 55 near the Interstate 405 interchange in Costa Mesa, CA, involving three vehicles, including a tan Honda Civic. The incident was reported around 10:20 PM and resulted in the blockage of the middle lanes, causing significant traffic disruptions.

Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where multiple parties were involved. The extent of injuries remains unknown, but medical aid was provided to one individual on the ground.

Initially, all lanes were blocked due to the incident, but by 10:55 PM, one lane was reopened, allowing for some traffic flow. However, one lane remained closed due to ongoing construction work in the area.

Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as construction continues. The California Highway Patrol urges drivers to stay alert and follow posted signs for any detours or lane closures.
