A traffic collision occurred today on State Route 60 East at Valley Way in Riverside, CA, leading to temporary traffic restrictions. The incident involved two vehicles: a dark-colored Toyota sedan and a semi-truck. At approximately 4:51 AM, the Toyota collided with the rear of the semi-truck, causing the sedan to veer off the roadway and into a ditch.
Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. As a result, motorists experienced delays during the morning commute, with traffic backups reported in the area. The semi-truck continued its route without stopping, while the Toyota remained off the roadway and was not visible from the main lanes.
A tow truck was called to assist with the recovery of the Toyota, which required equipment to extract the vehicle from the ditch. Emergency responders worked efficiently to control the situation and clear the roadway, aiming to restore normal traffic flow as soon as possible.
Drivers are advised to remain cautious while navigating through this area and to expect potential congestion until the scene is fully cleared. This incident highlights the importance of maintaining awareness on the road, especially during busy travel times.
