A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 South near Lincoln Avenue in Anaheim, CA, leading to major disruptions in traffic flow. The incident involved three vehicles: a white truck, a Ford Fusion, and a black Honda. Emergency units responded promptly to manage the situation, resulting in lane blockages and traffic diversions.
As responders worked at the scene, the Ford Fusion was towed away, while the status of the other vehicles remained undetermined. The collision caused significant congestion, with traffic delays reported in the area. To facilitate emergency response and clear the roadway, a signal alert was issued, warning motorists of expected delays for at least one hour.
