A traffic collision involving at least two vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 near the La Paz Road off-ramp in Mission Viejo, CA. The incident took place around 5:41 PM and involved a blue sedan and a green Honda HR-V, which was reportedly off the road on the left side of the off-ramp.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, and one lane was blocked due to the collision. Initially classified as a traffic collision with unknown injuries, the situation prompted an ambulance to be dispatched. The final status of any injuries remains unclear at this time.
