A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 91 East near the Clark Avenue on-ramp in Bellflower, CA, causing major traffic congestion during the afternoon commute. The incident involved four vehicles: three passenger cars—a white Tesla, a white Porsche 4-door, and a white Audi SUV—and a three-axle tractor without a trailer.
The collision initially blocked the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane and the first lane, leading to substantial delays and backups for motorists traveling through the area. Emergency services responded quickly, deploying multiple units to manage traffic and control the scene. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of at least one vehicle that required towing services.
Traffic was severely impacted, with all lanes stopped for a period until the situation was resolved. By approximately 2:00 PM, all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to flow normally once again. Motorists are advised to remain cautious and aware of their surroundings while driving in the area, as residual congestion may linger following the incident.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the potential for significant delays during peak travel times. For ongoing updates, drivers are encouraged to check local traffic reports.
