A traffic incident occurred today on southbound State Route 55 near the intersection with State Route 22 in Orange, CA, involving three vehicles. The collision included a gray pickup truck that was left facing sideways and blocking the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, along with another gray truck and a dark-colored pickup truck.
As a result of the incident, the HOV lane on southbound SR 55 was closed, leading to traffic delays in the area. The lane closures extended to the junction just south of the State Route 22 interchange, impacting the flow of vehicles significantly.
Emergency response teams were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and control traffic. Multiple units arrived to ensure safety and facilitate the clearing of the roadway. A tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved, although the estimated time of arrival for the tow service was not immediately available.
Motorists traveling through this area should anticipate delays and consider alternative routes until the situation is fully resolved. The ongoing lane closures are expected to affect traffic flow for the duration of the incident response. Drivers are advised to remain cautious and attentive while navigating through the affected area.
