A multi-vehicle traffic collision occurred today on the southbound lanes of State Route 57 at State Route 22 in Santa Ana, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions. The incident, reported around 6:35 PM, involved at least two vehicles: a green Toyota Highlander and a black sedan. There is a possibility of an additional vehicle being involved, but details remain unclear.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where one vehicle was blocking the slow lane, while another was situated on the on-ramp. The California Highway Patrol initially classified the incident as a traffic collision with unknown injuries. A tow truck was dispatched to assist with the vehicles involved.
As the situation developed, the California Highway Patrol advised that access to the westbound State Route 22 from the on-ramp was affected, further complicating traffic flow in the area. The closure of the slow lane and the presence of emergency vehicles contributed to delays for motorists navigating this busy intersection.
As of now, the status of any injuries remains unknown, and authorities are working to clear the scene. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes and exercise caution while traveling through the area until the situation is fully resolved.
