A solo vehicle collision occurred late last night on State Route 55 South near Chapman Avenue in Orange, CA, resulting in significant damage to the vehicle. The incident took place around 11:45 PM when the sports-type vehicle spun out and collided with a wall on the right-hand side. Emergency services responded quickly, and while there were indications that medical assistance might be needed, the status of any injuries remains unknown.
The collision partially blocked the slow lane, causing some traffic disruption in the area. Shortly after the initial incident, an additional collision was reported, but details about this secondary incident are limited. A tow truck was initially requested due to the major front-end damage sustained by the vehicle; however, the tow request was later canceled, and the vehicle was not removed from the scene.
California Highway Patrol cleared the incident shortly after midnight, and Caltrans was notified of approximately 30 feet of guardrail damage caused by the collision. Fortunately, there were no immediate hazards reported following the incident. Motorists traveling through the area should remain cautious as the aftermath of the collision may still affect traffic flow.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to exercise caution, especially in adverse conditions, to prevent similar occurrences on California roadways.
