A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 91 East at Coal Canyon Road in Yorba Linda, CA, causing major disruptions to traffic flow. The incident involved two Infiniti sedans, one of which was reported to be on fire, leading to extensive lane closures and delays.
The collision blocked multiple lanes, resulting in heavy congestion during the morning commute. Emergency response teams were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and control traffic. The California Highway Patrol issued a SigAlert, announcing that the second and third lanes of the freeway, as well as the mainline lanes one through four, would be closed for approximately three hours.
Tow trucks were called to assist with the removal of the vehicles, but the presence of parked semis further complicated the situation, creating additional obstacles for traffic. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the area, as significant delays continued to mount.
As the situation developed, emergency personnel worked diligently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic conditions. Drivers are encouraged to stay informed about road conditions and potential delays on State Route 91, especially during peak travel times.
