A minor traffic collision occurred today at approximately 12:27 PM on the eastbound side of State Route 91, near the Peralta Scales in Anaheim, CA. The incident involved two vehicles: a red Toyota 4Runner and a black Nissan sedan, both of which were blocking the number one lane of the highway.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP), responded quickly to the scene. Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the occupants of either vehicle. The black Nissan was determined to be undriveable and required towing assistance, while the status of the red Toyota was not specified, suggesting it may have been drivable.

The black Nissan was waiting for roadside assistance, and the FSP was notified to assist with the removal of the vehicle from the freeway. Traffic was impacted due to the blockage, but efforts were made to clear the lanes as quickly as possible.
At 2:28 PM, the incident was reopened for further assistance, indicating that the driver of the black Nissan was in contact with their insurance company to arrange for a tow home. The timely response from emergency services helped to minimize disruption to traffic flow, allowing for the reopening of the lanes after the necessary assistance was provided.
