A traffic collision on State Route 55 North in Costa Mesa, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the evening commute. The incident occurred around 7:12 PM and involved four vehicles: a white Audi, a silver Tesla, a grey Toyota Camry, and a white Nissan Altima.
The grey Toyota Camry was blocking the right lane, while debris was scattered across the roadway, contributing to traffic congestion. Emergency units promptly responded to the scene to manage traffic flow and secure the area.
As a result of the traffic incident, motorists experienced delays and backups in the vicinity of Baker Street. The presence of the undrivable vehicles exacerbated the situation, making travel through this area particularly challenging for drivers.
Tow trucks were dispatched to assist with the removal of the vehicles, including the white Audi and the grey Toyota Camry, which were confirmed to be not drivable. The ongoing efforts to clear the roadway are expected to alleviate some of the traffic congestion as the situation is resolved.
Drivers are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays and remain cautious while navigating the area until the traffic incident is fully cleared.
