A traffic collision on Interstate 405 South in Irvine, CA, caused significant disruptions during the late afternoon today. The incident, which involved three vehicles—a motorcycle, a gray sedan, and a white sedan—was reported at approximately 4:23 PM. Emergency services promptly responded to the scene to manage the situation and clear the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, which was blocked due to the crash.
As the traffic incident unfolded, it was noted that the motorcycle was performing stunts prior to the collision with the gray sedan. This led to the blockage of the HOV lane, resulting in delays and congestion for motorists in the area. Tow trucks were dispatched to remove the vehicles involved and restore normal traffic flow.
By 5:06 PM, tow units were actively working to clear the scene, but traffic backups were reported as drivers navigated around the incident. Authorities worked diligently to ensure that traffic was restored to normal as quickly as possible.
Motorists traveling on Interstate 405 South should remain cautious and expect potential delays as cleanup efforts continue. The situation serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, especially in busy traffic areas.
