Limo Carrying Passengers Crashes on San Joaquin Hills Toll Road

SANTA ANA, Calif., (March 26, 2026) — A single-vehicle traffic collision in Irvine involving a black limousine occurred on northbound State Route 73, just north of Bison Avenue, early Thursday morning.

The incident was reported on March 26th at approximately 8:03 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The limousine, which was reportedly smoking, collided with the center divider, blocking two left lanes and causing significant disruption to the morning commute. Several occupants were reportedly in the limousine at the time of the crash.

Emergency responders arrived on the scene shortly after the collision was reported. By 8:14 a.m., the fire department was on site, addressing the situation. Initial reports indicated the need for a tow truck due to front-end damage sustained by the limousine, which measured approximately 28 feet in length.

At this time, it remains unclear if there were any injuries resulting from the incident. The collision was initially classified as a major injury accident but was later adjusted to unknown injury status as the investigation progressed.

The California Highway Patrol is leading the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision. Authorities are urging any witnesses to come forward as they work to determine the cause of the incident.
