A traffic collision on State Route 91 East at the Interstate 5 North interchange in Anaheim, CA, caused notable traffic disruptions today. The incident, involving a single gray older model sedan, was reported around 7:10 PM. The vehicle spun out and came to rest in the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane, prompting immediate lane closures.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic control and ensure safety for all motorists. The closure of the HOV lane and one additional lane led to traffic delays and backups in the area, particularly affecting the evening commute for many drivers. A tow truck was dispatched to remove the vehicle from the roadway, and by 7:31 PM, the lanes were cleared, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Motorists traveling through this busy interchange were advised to expect congestion and to consider alternate routes if possible. The California Highway Patrol worked diligently to manage the situation and minimize the impact on traffic flow.
This traffic incident highlights the importance of cautious driving, especially during peak travel times on busy highways.
