A traffic collision occurred today on the eastbound lanes of State Route 91 in Buena Park, California, involving two vehicles: a semi-truck and a stakebed truck. The incident took place around 2:45 PM, resulting in the semi-truck blocking two lanes of traffic and prompting a swift response from emergency services.
The semi-truck, which was fully loaded and unable to move, obstructed traffic for over an hour. As a result, a SIGALERT was issued to inform motorists of the blockage. Fortunately, only one individual reported experiencing pain, and no serious injuries were noted.
Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene, and a tow truck was requested to assist in removing the semi-truck. The condition of the stakebed truck remains unspecified, but it is presumed to be drivable.
Traffic was significantly impacted during the incident, with two lanes blocked for an extended period. By 4:33 PM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. The prompt actions of emergency services and the timely removal of the vehicles helped minimize further disruptions.
