A minor traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of San Timoteo Canyon Road and Live Oak Canyon Road in Redlands, CA, involving two vehicles: a silver Tesla Model Y and a black Volkswagen Passat. The incident took place around 9:00 PM and resulted in minor injuries, although no individuals required transportation for medical care.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where both vehicles were initially blocking the intersection. The Volkswagen Passat became inoperable and could not be restarted, causing it to remain at the intersection. The driver of the Tesla managed to move their vehicle to a nearby dirt area, which helped ease traffic congestion.
By 9:25 PM, emergency responders successfully pushed the Volkswagen Passat off the roadway, allowing traffic to resume. The vehicle was subsequently towed from the scene. The prompt actions of emergency services ensured that the situation was resolved without significant complications, and normal traffic flow was restored shortly thereafter.
