A traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of Harvill Avenue and Harley Knox Boulevard in Perris, CA, involving four vehicles. The incident began when a white Chevrolet Silverado ran a red light, colliding with a white Honda sedan. Following this initial crash, a fire hydrant was struck, causing water to spray into the street and complicating the situation further. A white truck and another white sedan were also involved in a subsequent collision.
Emergency response teams from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) arrived promptly to manage the scene. Officers worked to control traffic and mitigate the impact of the water from the damaged hydrant. Tow services were requested for the vehicles involved, which led to lane closures and impaired road conditions.
As a result of the traffic incident, motorists experienced delays and congestion, particularly during the busy morning commute. The combination of vehicle involvement and road conditions created backups that affected traffic flow in the area. CHP officers remained on-site to ensure safety and facilitate the clearing of the roadway.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts continue. Further updates on traffic conditions in Perris, CA, will be provided as they become available.
