A traffic collision occurred today involving a white Tesla that lost a wheel and crashed into a tree on the southbound lanes of Interstate 5 at the Harbor Boulevard off-ramp in Anaheim, CA. The incident was reported around 8:49 PM, with the vehicle smoking following the crash.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where the driver was initially trapped inside the vehicle. Firefighters worked to assist the driver, who was unable to exit the car. The collision led to significant traffic disruptions, with the Harbor Boulevard off-ramp completely blocked for a time.
As emergency crews worked to manage the situation, all lanes on the southbound side of Interstate 5 were eventually reopened, although the off-ramp remained closed temporarily to facilitate the towing of the vehicle. A tow truck was called to remove the Tesla, and by approximately 9:44 PM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
The status of any injuries related to the incident remains unknown at this time. Authorities are advising drivers to exercise caution in the area as they continue to monitor traffic conditions.
