Emergency services were notified shortly after the collision, and units arrived on the scene to assist the drivers. Both drivers remained in their vehicles until help arrived. Fortunately, the injuries reported were classified as minor, although specific details regarding the nature of these injuries were not disclosed.
The collision was primarily caused by the black sedan rear-ending the gray Toyota SUV.

Traffic in the area was impacted as emergency responders worked to clear the scene. The incident was classified as a minor injury collision, and the situation was managed effectively by the responding units. The black sedan's driver faced a language barrier, as they were Spanish-speaking, which may have complicated communication with emergency personnel.
