A traffic collision involving four vehicles occurred today on State Route 22 East at Haster Street in Garden Grove, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions during the afternoon commute. The incident involved two white sedans, including a Nissan Sentra, and a Mazda, with at least one vehicle requiring towing from the scene.
Emergency services responded quickly, closing the #4 lane and the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane to manage traffic and ensure safety. While other lanes remained open, motorists experienced delays and congestion as they navigated around the blocked lanes. The presence of vehicles in both the HOV lane and the #4 lane complicated the situation, necessitating additional towing support.
By approximately 2:21 PM, the roadway was cleared, although the #4 lane remained blocked for a brief period. All other lanes were reported open, allowing traffic to gradually return to normal flow.
Motorists traveling through this area should remain vigilant and expect potential residual delays as traffic resumes. This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and patience during unexpected traffic incidents.
