A traffic collision on State Route 57 South in Brea, CA, caused significant disruptions today. The incident occurred around midnight and involved two vehicles: a white sedan and a suspected gray BMW. Both vehicles remained drivable, and towing was canceled shortly after the collision.

The traffic incident resulted in lane blockages, including the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, and debris was reported in the fast lanes. Emergency traffic management units responded quickly to the scene to control the situation and mitigate the traffic impact. Witnesses noted that the vehicles were traveling at high speeds prior to the collision, which likely contributed to the lane closures.
