A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a semi truck and a pickup, occurred this morning on State Route 91 East at State Route 241 in Anaheim, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 5:12 AM when a tire from a black Chevrolet Silverado struck the big rig, causing significant traffic disruptions.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded promptly to the scene to manage the situation. The semi truck was moved to the right shoulder to alleviate congestion, and a tow truck was requested to remove the vehicle from the freeway. Due to the collision, several lanes were closed, resulting in traffic delays and backups for motorists during the busy morning commute.
CHP coordinated scene control and facilitated the towing process to ensure the safe and efficient reopening of the affected lanes. By 6:21 AM, the tow truck arrived to assist in clearing the roadway. The incident caused noticeable congestion, prompting drivers to seek alternate routes to avoid delays.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and stay informed about road conditions, especially during peak travel times. The CHP continues to monitor the situation to ensure safe traffic flow as the scene is cleared.
