A traffic collision on Rainbow Canyon Road in Temecula, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions today. At approximately 4:53 AM, a pickup truck ran off the roadway and came to rest in a ditch on the right-hand side. This incident led to the closure of the northbound lane, causing delays for morning commuters.
Emergency services responded promptly to manage the situation and control traffic flow. A tow truck was dispatched to the scene around 5:00 AM to assist with the removal of the vehicle, which remained in the ditch awaiting towing services. By 6:07 AM, the tow truck was en route from Hemet, with an estimated arrival time of 40 minutes.
Motorists in the area should be prepared for potential backups and congestion as crews work to clear the scene. The lane closure may lead to delays, particularly during peak travel times. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes to avoid the impacted area.
The California Highway Patrol is on-site to ensure safety and facilitate the reopening of the lane once the vehicle is removed. Updates will be provided as the situation develops throughout the morning.
