A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 15 South near Lake Street in Lake Elsinore, CA, leading to major disruptions for evening commuters. The incident involved two vehicles: a black SUV and a grey hatchback, both of which are currently not drivable and blocking multiple lanes.
The collision took place around 7:47 PM when the grey hatchback flipped over, landing on its wheels and obstructing the middle lane. The black SUV was also overturned, facing north in the southbound lanes, which further complicated the traffic situation. Emergency units were dispatched to manage traffic control and address the blockage.
As a result of the incident, two lanes have been closed, causing increased congestion and delays for motorists traveling through the area. Tow trucks have been requested to remove the vehicles, but the closures are expected to impact traffic flow for an extended period.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid the backup and exercise caution while navigating through the affected area. The California Highway Patrol is on-site to ensure safety and facilitate the clearing of the roadway.
Drivers should stay updated on traffic conditions and plan accordingly to minimize delays during this busy evening period.
