A traffic collision involving a gray Infiniti sedan and attenuators occurred today on the southbound Interstate 5 at the State Route 91 interchange in Anaheim, CA. The incident took place early in the morning, with emergency services responding promptly to the scene. The driver was seen walking around the vehicle, and while initial reports indicated unknown injuries, the final determination remains that injuries are unknown.
The collision caused significant traffic disruptions. Although the main lanes of the southbound Interstate 5 were reopened shortly after the incident, the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes remained closed for an extended period. A tow truck was called to assist with the vehicle, which was not drivable.
Traffic management officials issued a SigAlert, indicating that the HOV lanes would remain closed for approximately four hours due to the collision. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays. Reports suggest that the driver may have fallen asleep prior to the incident.
As of now, the main lanes are open, but drivers should remain cautious and expect potential residual delays as cleanup efforts continue. Authorities are urging all drivers to stay alert and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent similar incidents in the future.
