"Several cars collided in lane three."
Does this mean that there was a car accident which involved three lanes? Or a car accident occured in the third lane? Or none of the above?
English isn't my native language. Thanks in advance!

The accident occurred in lane 3 of traffic. Lanes are identified from left to right.

It means that there has to be a least 3 lanes and the accident
occured in the third lane to the left.

The freeway is divided into lanes, starting from the right inwards.
Lane one is the slow lane, lane four is the fast lane (or the hammer), although the Highway Patrol says that all lanes are to be the same speed

The 3 cars collided in the 3rd lane. I've never heard/read it that way either but there's your answer! :)
