A traffic collision on the 405 Freeway in Costa Mesa, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident involved one vehicle, a black two-door BMW, which was confirmed at the scene. Emergency responders arrived promptly, leading to the temporary closure of all lanes on the freeway to manage the situation effectively.

The traffic incident occurred around 9:21 PM, resulting in immediate backups and delays for drivers traveling through this busy area. Reports indicated that the BMW had sustained major damage due to a piece of debris on the roadway, prompting the need for a tow truck to assist with the vehicle's removal.
