A traffic collision on State Route 55 North in Orange, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, which occurred around 2:11 PM, involved three vehicles: a white Mercedes blocking traffic, a second vehicle obstructing the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, and a Volkswagen Atlas that was reported as not driveable and in need of towing.

Emergency response units were quickly dispatched to the scene to manage the situation and secure the area. Traffic operations were implemented, resulting in lane closures on the right-hand side at the northbound junction with Lincoln Avenue. This led to delays and backups for motorists during the busy afternoon commute.

As emergency responders worked to clear the scene, a tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the Volkswagen Atlas. The blockage caused by the white Mercedes and the second vehicle further contributed to the congestion, prompting drivers to seek alternate routes.

Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect delays in the area as crews work to restore normal traffic flow. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the traffic incident to ensure safety and minimize disruption for all travelers.
