A traffic collision on State Route 55 South in Orange, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 11:21 PM and involved two vehicles: a non-specified color SUV and an RP ADV SUV. Both vehicles remained at the scene, blocking the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, which led to delays for motorists traveling in the area.

Emergency units were promptly dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. The blockage of the HOV lane resulted in congestion as drivers had to navigate around the incident.

As emergency responders worked to control the situation, traffic flow was impacted, with backups reported in the vicinity. Motorists are advised to exercise caution and be prepared for potential delays as crews continue to manage the aftermath of the collision.
