A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 91 West at the intersection of Raymond Avenue in Anaheim, CA, involving three vehicles: a black semi-truck, a red Toyota Flex, and a white Kia Optima. The incident was reported at approximately 9:29 AM and has resulted in multiple lane closures, specifically blocking the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes 1 and 2, as well as additional lanes.
The black semi-truck and its loaded trailer are currently not moveable due to a broken axle, which has contributed to considerable traffic delays and congestion in the area. Emergency agencies responded promptly to secure the scene and manage traffic flow. By 9:51 AM, a signal alert was issued, indicating that the traffic incident would impact the roadway for at least 60 minutes.
Motorists are advised to expect backups and delays during the morning commute as crews work to clear the vehicles involved. A tow truck has been requested to assist in removing the black semi-truck and the Kia Optima from the scene. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes to avoid the affected area and minimize travel disruptions.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of remaining vigilant and prepared for unexpected road conditions during busy travel times.
