A traffic collision on Interstate 5 North in Tustin, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred early in the morning around 2:40 AM when a grey Infiniti Q50 lost control and came to rest on the roadside. The vehicle remained at the scene awaiting towing, which led to lane management issues near the junction with Tustin Ranch Road.
Emergency response units arrived promptly to secure the area and manage the situation. The collision resulted in damage to roadside structures, including a wooden beam on the Tustin Ranch Road exit sign and approximately 150 feet of chain-link fencing. While there were no immediate hazards reported, the damaged structures required attention from Caltrans.
As crews worked to clear the scene, motorists experienced delays and potential backups in the northbound lanes of Interstate 5. The traffic incident underscored the importance of safe driving practices, particularly during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced.
A tow truck was dispatched to remove the disabled vehicle, allowing traffic to gradually resume its normal flow. Drivers are advised to remain cautious in the area as repairs to the damaged structures may be necessary in the coming days.
