On April 4, 2025, a significant traffic incident occurred on the southbound Orange 57 Freeway near the eastbound Riverside 91 Freeway in Anaheim, California. The collision took place at approximately 9:35 a.m. and involved a semi-truck loaded with crushed vehicles and a silver Toyota Camry. The impact caused the semi-truck to overturn onto its side, obstructing the slow lanes.

The incident prompted a swift response from emergency services, including paramedics and the California Highway Patrol (CHP), who issued a SigAlert due to the obstruction of multiple lanes. An investigation is underway to ascertain the circumstances leading to the collision and to determine liability.
