A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 North at Beach Boulevard in Buena Park, CA. The incident took place around 10:27 AM and involved a white Mercedes and two other vehicles.
Emergency units quickly responded to the scene, leading to lane closures that included restrictions on the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane. As a result, traffic was significantly impacted, causing delays and congestion for drivers during the busy morning commute. Witnesses reported that the collision partially blocked the northbound lanes, creating a backup that extended into the surrounding area.
To manage the situation, emergency responders directed traffic and controlled the scene while a tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved. A break in place was initiated starting at Beach Boulevard, further complicating traffic flow on this major highway.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts continue. The California Highway Patrol is on site to ensure safety and facilitate the reopening of the affected lanes. Drivers are urged to remain cautious and patient as the situation develops.
