A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 215 South at the State Route 60 interchange in Riverside, CA, causing significant disruptions to evening traffic. The incident involved two vehicles: a Ford F150 and a grey Tesla, both of which were rendered non-drivable and required towing from the scene.
The collision was reported around 10:51 PM, with emergency response units arriving shortly after to manage the situation. Initial reports indicated that multiple lanes were blocked, leading to considerable traffic delays and congestion as crews worked to clear the wreckage. Witnesses noted that the Ford F150 was blocking the second lane, while the Tesla was positioned behind it.
