A traffic collision on State Route 22 East in Garden Grove, CA, caused significant disruptions today during the evening commute. The incident involved four vehicles: a white SUV, a white jeep, a white pickup, and an unknown service vehicle. The white SUV and the white jeep were overturned in the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, blocking traffic.
Emergency response units arrived promptly to manage the situation. Tow services were called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the collision. The blockage of the HOV lane led to temporary lane closures, resulting in traffic delays and congestion for motorists traveling through the area.
As emergency crews worked to clear the scene, traffic cameras indicated that backup was forming in the surrounding lanes. By the time the vehicles were removed, the HOV lane was reopened, but residual delays were expected as traffic resumed to normal flow.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the impact that collisions can have on roadway conditions. Commuters are advised to remain cautious and consider alternative routes if traveling through this area during peak hours to avoid potential delays.
