A traffic collision on the eastbound side of the Riverside Freeway (State Route 91) in Corona, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident involved two vehicles: a grey Hyundai and a white Ford. It occurred around 2:50 PM, with the grey Hyundai overturning and blocking the fast lanes, while the white Ford was also involved in the crash.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, focusing on traffic management and ensuring the safety of motorists. A tow truck was dispatched to assist with the vehicles involved, and crews worked diligently to clear the roadway. Due to a fuel spill, lanes 3, 4, 5, and 6 remained closed for an extended period, while the first two lanes of the mainline were reopened shortly after 4 PM.
Motorists experienced delays and congestion as traffic backed up in the area. The California Highway Patrol issued a SigAlert, warning drivers of the ongoing situation and advising them to seek alternate routes. By 4:50 PM, all mainline lanes were reported to be open, alleviating the traffic backup that had formed during the afternoon commute.
Drivers are reminded to remain cautious and aware of their surroundings while traveling through this area, especially during peak traffic times.
