A traffic collision involving two commercial vehicles occurred today on Interstate 10 East near Dillon in Riverside County, CA. The incident was reported around 9:23 PM when one vehicle, marked “1125,” was positioned on the right-hand side in lane two, while another vehicle, labeled “1126,” was parked behind it.
Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene, resulting in all traffic being halted to manage the situation effectively. Towing operations began shortly after, with multiple tow trucks dispatched to clear the vehicles from the roadway. This led to lane closures and significant traffic backup, causing delays for motorists in the area.

The California Highway Patrol coordinated the response, ensuring that the vehicles were safely removed from the roadway and that traffic management was in place to direct vehicles around the incident.
