A traffic collision on State Route 241 South in Orange, CA, caused significant disruptions to afternoon traffic today. The incident involved two vehicles: a Cadillac SUV towing a trailer and a black pick-up truck also towing a trailer. Both vehicles overturned, resulting in debris scattered across the roadway.
Emergency response units quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. At least one lane was blocked due to the overturned vehicles, leading to delays and congestion for motorists. Traffic management teams worked diligently to restore partial lane availability while tow services were called to assist in clearing the wreckage.
The first lane remained blocked for approximately one hour, prompting a SigAlert to inform drivers of the ongoing traffic incident. Tow trucks were dispatched to the scene, with one truck arriving to assist the Cadillac SUV and its trailer. Complications arose regarding the black pick-up truck's trailer, which required specialized towing equipment due to damage.
By late afternoon, emergency responders successfully opened a second lane, easing some of the traffic backup. The scene was ultimately cleared, allowing for the resumption of normal traffic flow on State Route 241 South.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and stay updated on traffic conditions in the area.
