A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 91 East near La Sierra Avenue in Riverside, CA, involving at least two vehicles: a white Chevrolet Silverado and a white pickup truck. The incident was reported around 6:49 AM, prompting a swift response from emergency services.
Initial reports indicated that the Chevrolet Silverado collided with another vehicle, leading to one vehicle being stranded in the high-occupancy vehicle lane and another on the roadside. Witnesses noted that one individual was seen walking around in the traffic lanes, while two vehicles were confirmed to be involved in the collision.
Shortly after the first incident, a second collision was reported, further complicating the scene. This second incident involved the white Chevrolet Silverado, which was blocking a lane and was missing a tire. The driver had to jump over the concrete divider to avoid being struck during the second collision.
Traffic was significantly disrupted, with the high-occupancy vehicle lanes closed for an extended period. A tow truck was called to assist in clearing the vehicles, and by 7:35 AM, the roadway was cleared, although the high-occupancy vehicle lanes remained closed for some time.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as cleanup efforts were underway, and traffic conditions may still be affected.
