A traffic collision on the transition from Interstate 5 North to Westbound State Route 91 in Buena Park, CA, caused significant disruptions to traffic flow this morning. The incident involved one vehicle, a blue Ram, which led to hard closures affecting the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and the flyover connecting the two highways.
Emergency response teams were quickly dispatched to manage the scene and control traffic. As a result of the collision, the California Highway Patrol issued a SigAlert for the HOV lanes and the transition from Interstate 5 to State Route 91, indicating that these areas would remain closed for an extended period.
