The cause of the crash has not been disclosed. Officials are still probing the incident, with additional information to follow as it emerges. Our thoughts are with the injured as they get medical treatment. What Are Common Causes of Freeway Crashes Near Urban Exits in California? Crashes on freeways near urban exit ramps and surface street intersections frequently occur in high-traffic California corridors such as I-5 in Santa Ana. In these areas, traffic speed frequently changes suddenly as drivers near exits, merge, or respond to slower vehicles in front. The mix of heavy traffic volume and varying speeds increases the danger of rear-end collisions and side-impact crashes. Morning hours introduce an additional challenge. Traffic from commuters ramps up rapidly during mornings on both weekdays and weekends, with drivers potentially distracted or less attentive compared to later hours. Sun glare can also impair visibility on east- or west-facing freeway sections in the morning, complicating timely detection of slowing vehicles for safe stops.
