A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) near La Palma Avenue in Anaheim, CA, at approximately 2:55 PM. The incident involved a red Mazda CX-30 and a gray Lexus, which resulted in the blockage of the left lane. This lane closure caused significant disruptions to traffic flow, leading to delays for motorists in the area.
Emergency response teams were dispatched to the scene to manage the situation effectively. One of the vehicles required towing, while the other was safely maneuvered to the shoulder to reduce further traffic impact. Multiple units were present to secure the area and assist with traffic management.
As the afternoon traffic continued to build, a tow truck was called to remove the gray Lexus, which had been pushed to the side of the road. By 3:45 PM, the tow truck was actively removing the vehicle, helping to alleviate the congestion caused by the collision.
Motorists traveling on I-5 S should remain cautious and expect residual delays as the area returns to normal conditions. The California Highway Patrol is monitoring the situation to ensure safe passage for all drivers.
