A hit-and-run incident involving two stalled vehicles caused traffic disruption on Interstate 10 East near Wabash Avenue in Redlands, CA, today. The incident occurred late at night, with emergency services responding promptly to the scene.
The vehicles involved were a gray Chrysler Pacifica and a Dodge van, both blocking the #1 lane of the highway. Witnesses reported that the vehicles had their hazard lights activated, indicating they were unable to move. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in connection with this incident.
Emergency responders quickly assessed the situation and requested tow trucks to remove the vehicles from the roadway. Both the Chrysler Pacifica and the Dodge van were confirmed to be undrivable and were subsequently towed from the scene to clear the lane for traffic.
The blockage of the #1 lane led to temporary traffic delays, but responders worked efficiently to manage the situation and ensure the safety of all motorists. By the early hours of the morning, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Motorists are reminded to remain vigilant and report any stalled vehicles to authorities to prevent similar incidents in the future. The California Highway Patrol encourages drivers to prioritize safety and to use caution when navigating areas with disabled vehicles.
