A significant traffic collision occurred today on the northbound side of Interstate 5 (I-5) at Euclid Street in Anaheim, CA, involving six to seven vehicles. The incident, reported around 9:46 PM, resulted in hard closures and traffic diversions for northbound motorists, while the southbound lanes remained open.

Witnesses noted that a white SUV overturned, with another vehicle ending up on its side, obstructing multiple lanes. Emergency units were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety. A tow truck was called to assist in removing the overturned vehicles from the roadway.

As a result of the traffic incident, drivers experienced significant delays and congestion in the area. Traffic was diverted off at Euclid Street, leading to backups for those traveling northbound.
