A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the eastbound side of State Route 91 near Peralta Scales in Anaheim, California. The incident was reported at 12:27 PM and involved a red Toyota 4Runner and a black sedan. Emergency services were dispatched promptly, with units arriving on the scene by 12:44 PM.
While no serious injuries were reported, the deployment of airbags in both vehicles indicates that the occupants may have experienced potential injuries. The occupants of the black sedan were waiting for roadside assistance, as the vehicle was not drivable. The status of the red Toyota 4Runner remains unspecified.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) units managed the scene effectively, ensuring that traffic flow was maintained as much as possible. By 1:11 PM, the CHP units cleared the scene, but the incident was reopened for further assistance at 2:28 PM, as the occupants of the black sedan continued to wait for towing assistance. The driver of the black sedan was also in contact with their insurance company to arrange for a tow home.
The collision caused some disruption in traffic, particularly in the number one lane, as both vehicles were initially blocking the lane. However, the quick response from emergency services helped to minimize the impact on traffic flow.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling in the area, as the situation may still require ongoing assistance. The CHP encourages drivers to remain alert and to follow any posted detours or instructions from traffic management personnel.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices and the need for immediate reporting of accidents to ensure the safety of all road users.
