A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 405 South at Bake Parkway in Irvine, CA, resulting in major traffic disruptions. The incident involved two vehicles, a white Honda and a Toyota RAV4, which led to blocked lanes and partial closures of the flyover due to associated hazards.
The collision was reported around 9:58 PM, prompting a swift response from multiple traffic management units. Emergency responders worked to control the scene and manage traffic flow, but the incident caused considerable congestion and delays for motorists in the area. The high-occupancy vehicle lane was blocked, contributing to backups that extended into adjacent lanes.
By 10:11 PM, it was confirmed that the flyover was closed, and multiple lanes were obstructed, further complicating traffic conditions. Tow trucks were dispatched to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the collision, aiming to clear the scene as quickly as possible.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts continue. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the situation to restore normal traffic flow. Drivers should remain cautious and expect ongoing traffic impacts in the vicinity of the incident.
