ANAHEIM, Orange County, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 — A driver was hurt early Thursday morning, October 22, in a hit-and-run crash on the connector ramp from northbound State Route 55 to westbound State Route 91 in Anaheim, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The CHP said the crash was reported around 5:25 a.m. on the ramp connecting the two freeways. A single vehicle was initially noted at the scene, and the driver who called it in reportedly pulled over to the right shoulder of westbound SR-91 near Tustin.

The vehicle or person responsible for the crash had not been located as of the time the incident was logged. Few details have been released about what led up to the collision or the extent of the reported injuries.

The agency requested a tow for the damaged vehicle, and additional units were called to help manage traffic in the area.

This remains an active investigation. We hope those who were hurt recover quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does speed affect the severity of a crash like this?

Higher speeds increase both the force of impact and the distance needed to stop, which is why crashes on freeway ramps and connectors, where speeds shift quickly, can cause serious injury even in single-vehicle or hit-and-run incidents.

Why is distracted driving a particular risk on ramps and connectors?

Ramps require quick decisions about merging, speed changes and lane position. A driver who is distracted for even a few seconds in that environment has less time to react to traffic ahead.

What should someone do immediately after a hit-and-run crash?

Move to a safe location if possible, call 911, and try to note any details about the other vehicle, such as color, make or partial plate number, before memory fades. Reporting to law enforcement as soon as possible helps investigators act quickly.
