A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 91 West near Coal Canyon Road in Yorba Linda, CA, resulting in major traffic disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved two vehicles: a semi truck and a small dark-colored SUV. The semi truck became lodged across multiple lanes, completely blocking traffic and leading to a total lane closure for approximately two hours.
As a result of the traffic incident, motorists faced significant delays and congestion, with backups extending for miles. The California Highway Patrol responded quickly, deploying multiple units to manage the scene and facilitate the safe removal of the vehicles involved. A tow truck was called to assist in clearing the semi truck, which was obstructing the roadway.
Drivers were advised to seek alternate routes as the traffic incident led to lane closures, including full blockages that compounded the delays. The CHP issued a SigAlert for the area, alerting motorists to the extended closure and advising them to expect continued traffic impacts.
Emergency responders worked diligently to restore traffic flow, monitoring the situation closely as tow services arrived on the scene. Motorists are encouraged to stay updated on traffic conditions and plan accordingly as cleanup efforts continue.
