A traffic collision on Interstate 5 South in Santa Ana, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions early this morning. The incident, which involved two vehicles—a black Honda and a white Toyota RAV4—occurred around 1:24 AM when the Honda collided with a pole, resulting in the pole being downed in the roadway.

Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, deploying multiple units to manage traffic flow and control the situation. Due to the downed pole and the vehicles involved, several lanes were closed, leading to delays for motorists in the area. Drivers reported backups as they navigated around the incident site.

Tow trucks were called to assist in removing both vehicles from the scene. However, delays persisted as one towing service indicated a lengthy estimated time of arrival, complicating traffic conditions further.

Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid congestion on Interstate 5 South, particularly during the early morning hours when traffic is typically heavier. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the scene to ensure safety for all drivers.

As the situation is resolved, drivers are encouraged to remain patient and vigilant.
