A traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of State Route 74 and Briggs Road in Riverside County, California, involving two vehicles: a gray Honda Accord and a brown and white Ford F150. The incident took place around 11:21 PM when both vehicles reportedly ran through non-functioning traffic lights, resulting in the collision.
Following the crash, the Honda Accord was left blocking the intersection, prompting a rapid response from emergency services. A tow truck was called to remove both vehicles from the scene to clear the roadway. The status of any injuries remains unknown at this time.
Authorities have indicated that the California Highway Patrol is responsible for managing the northbound lanes of Briggs Road, while the Riverside County Sheriff's Office oversees the southbound lanes. This division of responsibility may have contributed to the confusion regarding the traffic signals at the intersection.
