A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred this morning on Interstate 5 North near Los Alisos Boulevard in Lake Forest, CA. The incident took place around 7:30 AM and involved a red BMW 3 Series, a blue Mini Cooper, and another red vehicle. The BMW sustained significant front-end damage and was blocking the first lane of traffic, necessitating the arrival of a tow truck.
As a result of the traffic incident, multiple lanes were closed, leading to delays and congestion during the busy morning commute. Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol quickly arrived on the scene to manage traffic and implement manual traffic control measures to ensure safety for all motorists.
By approximately 7:44 AM, the roadway was cleared, and traffic began to flow more smoothly. However, the initial lane closures had already caused a backup affecting drivers in the area. Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect possible residual delays as traffic conditions return to normal.
