A traffic collision on State Route 133 (SR-133) near Laguna Canyon Road in Laguna Beach, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, which occurred late in the evening, involved multiple vehicles and resulted in the temporary closure of both northbound lanes. This blockage led to delays and congestion for motorists traveling through the area.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where they worked to manage the situation and clear the roadway. Although tow requests were initially made, at least one was later canceled, indicating that the vehicles involved remained drivable. This allowed for a more efficient response, as crews focused on restoring normal traffic flow.
By approximately 1:37 AM, emergency personnel successfully opened one of the northbound lanes, alleviating some of the traffic congestion. However, motorists were still advised to exercise caution as residual delays were expected while the area returned to normal operations.
The quick response from emergency services helped minimize the impact of this traffic incident, allowing for a swift return to regular traffic patterns. Drivers are encouraged to stay informed about traffic conditions and to consider alternative routes during peak travel times.
