A traffic collision on State Route 22 East in Garden Grove, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the late afternoon. The incident, involving two vehicles—a black Jeep and a gray Dodge—occurred around 4:34 PM near the intersection with Harbor Boulevard. The black Jeep was blocking one lane, while the gray Dodge was positioned on the right side of the roadway with visible damage.
As a result of the lane obstruction, drivers experienced slow-moving conditions and delays, leading to congestion in the area. Emergency services responded quickly to manage the scene and initiate the towing process for at least one of the vehicles involved. A tow truck was called to assist with the gray Dodge, which sustained moderate damage.
Traffic backups were reported as vehicles navigated around the blocked lane, creating challenges for commuters. The California Highway Patrol worked diligently to clear the roadway, and by approximately 5:02 PM, the roadway was reported to be clear, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as residual delays may persist following the incident. This traffic collision serves as a reminder for drivers to stay alert and drive safely, especially during peak traffic hours.
