A single-vehicle collision occurred on the transition from Interstate 5 South to State Route 22 West in Santa Ana, CA, last night. The incident involved a blue Dodge Ram 3500, which became undriveable and was left unattended on the freeway. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Emergency services were notified, and a tow service was assigned to remove the vehicle from the scene. The vehicle reportedly lost battery power and was unable to be driven. Concerned passersby had been flashing their high beams at the vehicle, indicating its precarious position on the freeway.
The vehicle's owner communicated with authorities, stating their intention to leave the vehicle until the tow service arrived. They had already exchanged information with another party involved in the incident but chose not to file a formal report.
As of this morning, the vehicle remains on the freeway awaiting removal. Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the area as the situation is being managed. The California Highway Patrol is overseeing the incident to ensure the vehicle is safely towed and that traffic flow is minimally impacted.
Drivers traveling through Santa Ana should stay alert for any potential lane closures or delays as the tow service works to clear the scene.
