A traffic collision on State Route 22 West in Garden Grove, CA, caused notable traffic disruptions during the early morning hours today. The incident involved two vehicles: a white Toyota Rav4 and a burgundy pickup truck. Both vehicles ended up facing sideways across the lanes, blocking the first and fourth lanes of the highway, which resulted in significant delays and slow-moving traffic for morning commuters.
Emergency response teams promptly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. Multiple units were dispatched to control the situation and facilitate the clearing of the roadway. Initially, a tow truck was requested; however, this request was later canceled as the situation was effectively managed.
By approximately 4:24 AM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. Despite the clearance, drivers experienced residual congestion as traffic gradually returned to normal.
Motorists traveling on State Route 22 West should remain vigilant and expect potential delays as the area stabilizes. The California Highway Patrol monitored the situation closely to ensure safe passage for all drivers.
