A traffic collision on State Route 57 North in Brea, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles: a motorcycle and an unknown object. The collision resulted in the motorcycle blocking the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, leading to delays and congestion for drivers in the area.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene after the collision was reported at approximately 9:46 AM. Traffic cameras confirmed that the motorcycle was obstructing the HOV lane, which complicated traffic flow for northbound motorists. As vehicles navigated around the blockage, backups began to form.
To facilitate the safe resumption of traffic, a tow truck was requested to remove the motorcycle from the roadway. Emergency personnel worked diligently to manage the situation, ensuring that traffic could resume as quickly as possible. By 9:56 AM, arrangements were in place for the motorcycle's removal, allowing for the gradual clearing of the lane.
