A single-vehicle accident occurred today on the southbound side of State Route 55 near 17th Street in Santa Ana, CA. The incident took place around 8:34 PM when a gray Dodge Charger spun out of control and collided with a roadside wall. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Emergency services responded promptly, and the vehicle was moved to the left shoulder to ensure safety and minimize traffic disruption. Fire crews arrived shortly after and confirmed that there were no injuries, allowing them to clear the area efficiently.

A tow service was arranged to remove the vehicle from the scene. Initial estimates indicated a one-hour wait for the preferred towing company, but updates later suggested that the arrival time could extend to 90 minutes due to the towing company being located outside the area.

Motorists traveling on State Route 55 should be aware of potential delays as emergency responders worked to clear the scene. The left shoulder was temporarily blocked, but traffic flow was expected to resume shortly after the vehicle was towed away.

Drivers are advised to exercise caution in the area and stay alert for any further updates regarding road conditions. This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially in challenging conditions.
