A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the eastbound side of Riverside County, CA, at mile marker 10 on the Riverside Highway (R68.50). The incident was reported around 3:35 PM and resulted in significant traffic disruption during the afternoon commute.
The collision involved a small white semi-truck with an attached trailer that sustained considerable damage, leading to debris being scattered across the roadway. A white Trailblazer was also seen leaving the area shortly after the incident. Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, deploying units for traffic control and coordinating tow support for the damaged semi-truck.
Due to the collision, several lanes were closed to ensure the safety of both emergency responders and motorists. This caused delays and backups in traffic as vehicles were redirected around the incident site. A tow truck was arranged to assist with the removal of the damaged vehicle, and arrangements were made prior to the final disposition of the semi-truck.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect potential congestion in the area until the roadway is fully cleared. Traffic conditions are anticipated to improve as emergency services manage the situation and restore normal traffic flow.
