A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) near Avery Parkway in Mission Viejo, CA. The incident took place during the early morning hours and resulted in significant traffic disruptions as emergency response teams arrived on the scene.
The vehicles involved in the crash were a dark gray Dodge Charger and a white Ford F250, both of which ended up down an embankment off the roadway. As crews worked to manage the situation, several units were deployed to control traffic, leading to lane blockages and slow-moving conditions for drivers.
Motorists experienced delays during the morning commute, with traffic backing up as recovery efforts were initiated. A tow truck was called to assist in the removal of the overturned vehicles, which contributed to the congestion in the area.
By mid-morning, emergency personnel continued to work on clearing the scene, and traffic remained affected with slow lanes still congested. Drivers are advised to avoid the area if possible and consider alternate routes to minimize delays. The California Highway Patrol is on site to ensure safety and facilitate the clearing of the traffic incident.
