A significant traffic collision occurred today on westbound State Route 91 near Lakeview Avenue in Anaheim, CA, resulting in major traffic disruptions. The incident involved four vehicles: a white cargo van, a white or silver Sprinter van, a utility trailer that separated from its towing vehicle, and a motorcycle.
At approximately 8:01 PM, reports indicated that the trailer had become detached and struck a van, leading to lane blockages and debris scattered across the roadway. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic control and secure the area.
Due to the collision, all westbound lanes of Route 91 were closed, and traffic was diverted to southbound Route 55. This diversion created significant delays and congestion for evening commuters, as vehicles were forced to navigate alternate routes.
By 8:20 PM, a tow truck was called to assist in clearing the vehicles involved in the collision and removing debris from the roadway. Multiple units from the California Highway Patrol were on-site to ensure safe traffic flow and assist with the ongoing cleanup efforts.
Motorists are advised to expect delays in the area and to seek alternative routes until the situation is resolved. The traffic incident has created a challenging environment for drivers during peak travel hours.
