A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 91 East at the intersection of Pierce Street in Riverside, CA, leading to major traffic disruptions. The incident involved three vehicles: a grey Toyota Tacoma, a red Ford F-15, and a third vehicle of unspecified description.
The collision resulted in multiple lanes being blocked, with only the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane remaining open for traffic. This caused considerable delays and congestion during the evening commute. To help alleviate the traffic backup, emergency responders permitted vehicles to use the shoulder to bypass the congestion.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) personnel arrived quickly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the damaged vehicles, including the grey Toyota Tacoma, which overturned and was obstructing the middle lanes.
As of now, traffic remains heavily impacted, with significant delays reported in the area. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the congestion caused by this traffic collision. CHP continues to monitor the situation and is working to restore normal traffic conditions as swiftly as possible.
