A hit-and-run incident involving two vehicles occurred today on the eastbound side of State Route 91 at the intersection with Green River Road in Corona, CA. The collision, which took place around 6:01 AM, involved a yellow box truck and a dark sedan. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries among the occupants of the dark sedan, which included five adults and a dog.
The incident began when the yellow box truck collided with the dark sedan, resulting in the box truck suffering a broken axle and becoming immobile. Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and Freeway Service Patrol, quickly responded to the scene to manage the situation and ensure the safety of all involved.
By 6:07 AM, the yellow box truck was blocking an unknown lane on the freeway, prompting the need for a tow truck to assist in clearing the roadway. A tow truck was requested shortly after, and by 6:19 AM, the Freeway Service Patrol confirmed that the box truck was on the right shoulder of the freeway, indicating that the situation was being addressed.
The dark sedan was likely drivable, although this was not explicitly confirmed. The absence of injuries and the prompt response from emergency services helped to mitigate the potential for further complications.
Traffic in the area may have experienced some delays due to the incident, but the quick actions of the California Highway Patrol and Freeway Service Patrol ensured that the roadway was cleared efficiently. The yellow box truck was towed from the scene, allowing for the restoration of normal traffic flow.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and the need for immediate reporting of accidents to help maintain safety on California's busy roadways.
