A traffic collision on State Route 91 East in Bellflower, CA, has caused significant disruptions during the afternoon commute today. The incident involved two vehicles: a white Ford F250 pickup truck with a trailer and a dark-colored sedan.
The collision occurred shortly before 1:00 PM, resulting in blockages across multiple lanes, specifically lanes 1, 2, 3, and 4/5. Emergency service units quickly responded to manage traffic and secure the scene, leading to delays and congestion for motorists.
As responders worked to clear the area, the white Ford F250 was initially blocking lane 3, while the dark sedan was found on the right shoulder. The situation created additional backups in the slow lanes, complicating traffic flow further.
Authorities have reported approximately 100 feet of ground damage near the scene, which poses an immediate hazard to drivers. A tow truck has been called to assist in removing the vehicles involved in the traffic incident. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as crews work to restore normal traffic conditions.
Traffic is expected to remain slow in the area until the scene is fully cleared. Drivers should exercise caution and be prepared for ongoing congestion as emergency responders continue their efforts.
