A traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of Mockingbird Canyon Road and Van Buren Boulevard in Riverside, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved three vehicles: a primary vehicle that became lodged in a 4-foot deep embankment, a small quad, and another off-road vehicle.
Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the situation. Several tow trucks from different agencies were dispatched to assist in recovering the vehicles, particularly the one trapped in the embankment. Due to the steep terrain, lane closures were implemented to ensure the safety of both responders and motorists.
As crews worked to clear the scene, traffic flow was impacted, resulting in delays and backups in the area. Motorists were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid congestion while emergency services managed the traffic incident.
By late afternoon, the situation was under control, and efforts were focused on restoring normal traffic conditions. Authorities emphasized the importance of patience and caution for drivers navigating the area during this time. Updates on traffic conditions will continue to be provided as the scene is cleared.
