A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a black BMW sedan and a semi truck, occurred today on northbound Interstate 5 (I-5) at Sand Canyon Road in Irvine, CA. The incident was reported around 1:28 PM and has significantly impacted traffic flow in the area.
Emergency services arrived promptly to manage the scene and coordinate the response. The semi truck, associated with a "royal plywood" description, was reportedly unable to move immediately after the collision. This has led to lane closures, resulting in delays and congestion for drivers traveling on I-5 during the busy afternoon commute.
A tow truck was requested for the BMW sedan to assist in clearing the roadway. As emergency responders worked to restore traffic flow, motorists experienced backups along the northbound lanes.
Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the affected area and anticipate delays as the situation is being resolved. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the incident to ensure that traffic can resume as quickly as possible. Updates on traffic conditions will be provided as the situation develops.
