A traffic collision on State Route 55 South in Tustin, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 1:15 AM, involving two vehicles: a white Tesla and a Kia. The Tesla was found positioned sideways in the lane, while the Kia required towing due to its condition.
Emergency services promptly responded to the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. Lane blockages were reported, leading to delays and congestion for motorists traveling on the southbound portion of State Route 55 at 4th Street. To alleviate the traffic impact, the Tesla was pushed to the right, allowing for partial lane access while the Kia awaited towing.
As emergency crews worked to clear the scene, drivers experienced backups and delays in the area. The blockage of multiple lanes further complicated traffic flow during the early morning hours. Authorities advised motorists to exercise caution and consider alternate routes to avoid congestion.
By approximately 1:34 AM, efforts to reopen the lanes were underway, and a tow truck was on the way to assist with the Kia. Traffic is expected to gradually return to normal as the vehicles are cleared from the roadway. Commuters should remain alert for any residual delays as cleanup efforts conclude.
