A traffic incident occurred today on Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) at Crown Valley Parkway in Mission Viejo, CA, involving three vehicles. The collision, which took place during the late evening hours, included two sedans overturned—one black sedan and one blue sedan—while a second black sedan remained upright on the shoulder.
The traffic collision resulted in the closure of two right lanes, leading to significant delays and congestion for motorists in the area. Emergency response units were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the overturned vehicles, which remained on the roadway during the incident.
As emergency crews worked to clear the scene, traffic was notably slowed, with motorists experiencing backups. The California Highway Patrol was on-site to ensure safety and direct vehicles away from the affected lanes. Drivers were advised to expect delays and to consider alternate routes if possible.
As the situation progressed, emergency personnel continued to manage traffic, allowing for the gradual reopening of lanes once the vehicles were cleared. Motorists are encouraged to remain cautious while traveling through the area, as residual traffic impacts may persist.
