A multi-vehicle collision occurred early this morning on the westbound lanes of State Route 91 near East Shoemaker Avenue in Cerritos, California. The incident, which involved three vehicles—a black Chevrolet Silverado, a black Ford Mustang, and a white Ford F150—was reported at approximately 5:19 AM today.
The California Highway Patrol indicated that the collision was likely influenced by low visibility conditions due to dense fog, which caused multiple vehicles to block the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane. Emergency services responded promptly, arriving at the scene around 5:49 AM to assess the situation.
Fortunately, there were no reported injuries resulting from the incident. The vehicles involved were evaluated, but it remains unclear if they were drivable or required towing. The black Ford Mustang was noted to have its hazard lights activated, suggesting a potential issue, while the other vehicles were also obstructing traffic in the HOV lane.
Traffic in the area was affected as emergency responders worked to clear the scene and ensure safety for all motorists. The foggy conditions made visibility challenging, which may have contributed to the circumstances leading to the collision.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when driving in foggy conditions, as visibility can change rapidly and lead to unexpected hazards on the road. The California Highway Patrol encourages drivers to remain vigilant and adjust their speed according to weather conditions.
As the investigation continues, authorities will work to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the collision. Drivers are reminded to stay alert and report any hazardous conditions to ensure the safety of all road users.
