A significant traffic incident occurred today on State Route 22 West at Knott Avenue in Garden Grove, CA, disrupting the morning commute. The collision involved two vehicles, one of which overturned onto its roof, while a white Toyota was blocking the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane.
As a result of this traffic collision, lanes three, four, and five were blocked, leading to a SIGALERT that is expected to last for approximately 30 minutes. This blockage has created considerable delays and congestion for drivers in the area, with traffic backup extending beyond the immediate vicinity of the incident.
Emergency response teams were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and facilitate traffic control. Multiple units were on-site to ensure the safe removal of the vehicles, and tow trucks were called to assist with the situation.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays and to remain cautious while navigating through the affected area. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing traffic flow to minimize disruption as they work to clear the scene.
Drivers should stay updated on traffic conditions and plan for potential delays as cleanup efforts continue.
