A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 22 East at the Tustin Street off-ramp in Santa Ana, CA, causing major disruptions to traffic flow. The incident involved two vehicles: a white Chevrolet truck, which was rendered non-drivable, and a silver Chevrolet. The collision was reported around 6:49 PM, with debris scattered across the lanes and the right lane partially blocked.
As a result of the crash, the Tustin off-ramp was completely closed, leading to considerable traffic delays and congestion in the area. Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) quickly arrived on the scene to manage the situation. A tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the vehicles, and it was estimated that the right lane would remain closed for approximately 30 minutes.
Motorists were advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes to minimize delays. The CHP worked diligently to clear the scene and restore traffic flow. This traffic incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain cautious and aware, particularly during peak traffic hours.
