A traffic collision on Interstate 5 South in Anaheim, CA, caused significant disruptions during the afternoon commute today. The incident involved three vehicles: a blue Mazda, a white Honda, and a black SUV. All vehicles remained on the roadway, with at least one requiring tow assistance, contributing to traffic delays in the area.
