A traffic collision on the eastbound lanes of the Riverside Freeway (State Route 91) in Yorba Linda, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, involving two vehicles—a white Lexus sedan and a black Chevrolet truck—occurred at approximately 1:44 PM. Both vehicles were confirmed to be drivable, but the collision blocked the mid lanes and the right-side exit ramp, leading to traffic congestion and delays for motorists.
As emergency response units arrived on the scene, traffic began to back up, affecting the flow of vehicles during the busy afternoon commute. By 2:15 PM, all lanes on the mainline and fast track lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume more smoothly. However, the initial blockage resulted in considerable delays for drivers navigating through the area.
The California Highway Patrol managed the incident, ensuring that the vehicles were safely moved off the roadway to minimize further disruptions. Motorists were advised to remain cautious and stay updated on traffic conditions as the situation unfolded. This traffic incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially during peak travel times.
For those traveling through Yorba Linda, planning alternative routes may help avoid potential congestion in the future.
