A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 North (I-5 N) near La Paz Road in Laguna Hills, CA. The incident took place during the morning commute at approximately 6:24 AM and involved a white BMW and a white van. The BMW was reported to be on a ramp, while the van was located in the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane.
As a result of the traffic incident, significant lane closures were enforced, particularly affecting the HOV lane and the ramp areas. This led to delays and congestion for drivers in the area. Multiple emergency units responded quickly to manage the situation and direct traffic. A tow truck was called to the scene to assist with the removal of at least one vehicle involved in the collision.
By around 7:09 AM, emergency responders had cleared the scene, allowing traffic to gradually return to normal. However, motorists should remain cautious as residual delays may still be experienced in the aftermath of the incident. This traffic collision serves as a reminder for drivers to stay alert and follow traffic regulations, especially during peak travel times.
